FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Therapeutic combinations of a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, a Janus kinase-2 (JAK-2) inhibitor, and a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor and uses of the therapeutic combinations are disclosed herein. In particular, a combination of a BTK inhibitor and a JAK-2 inhibitor and uses thereof are disclosed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

PI3K kinases are members of a unique and conserved family of intracellular lipid kinases that phosphorylate the 3′-OH group on phosphatidylinositols or phosphoinositides. PI3K kinases are key signaling enzymes that relay signals from cell surface receptors to downstream effectors. The PI3K family comprises 15 kinases with distinct substrate specificities, expression patterns, and modes of regulation. The class I PI3K kinases (p110α, p110β, p110δ, and p110γ) are typically activated by tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors to generate PIP3, which engages downstream effectors such as those in the Akt/PDK1 pathway, mTOR, the Tec family kinases, and the Rho family GTPases.

The PI3K signaling pathway is known to be one of the most highly mutated in human cancers. PI3K signaling is also a key factor in disease states including hematologic malignancies, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), allergic contact dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, disorders related to diabetic complications, and inflammatory complications of the cardiovascular system such as acute coronary syndrome. The role of PI3K in cancer has been discussed, for example, in J. A. Engleman, Nat. Rev. Cancer 2009, 9, 550-562. The PI3K-δ and PI3K-γ isoforms are preferentially expressed in normal and malignant leukocytes.

The delta (δ) isoform of class I PI3K (PI3K-δ) is involved in mammalian immune system functions such as T-cell function, B-cell activation, mast cell activation, dendritic cell function, and neutrophil activity. Due to its role in immune system function, PI3K-δ is also involved in a number of diseases related to undesirable immune response such as allergic reactions, inflammatory diseases, inflammation mediated angiogenesis, rheumatoid arthritis, auto-immune diseases such as lupus, asthma, emphysema and other respiratory diseases. The gamma (γ) isoform of class I PI3K (PI3K-γ) is also involved in immune system functions and plays a role in leukocyte signaling and has been implicated in inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmune diseases such as lupus.

Downstream mediators of the PI3K signal transduction pathway include Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). One important function of Akt is to augment the activity of mTOR, through phosphorylation of TSC2 and other mechanisms. mTOR is a serine-threonine kinase related to the lipid kinases of the PI3K family and has been implicated in a wide range of biological processes including cell growth, cell proliferation, cell motility and survival. Disregulation of the mTOR pathway has been reported in various types of cancer.

In view of the above, PI3K inhibitors are prime targets for drug development, as described in J. E. Kurt and I. Ray-Coquard, Anticancer Res. 2012, 32, 2463-70. Several PI3K inhibitors are known, including those that are PI3K-δ or PI3K-γ inhibitors and those that are PI3K-δ,γ inhibitors.

Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) is a Tec family non-receptor protein kinase expressed in B cells and myeloid cells. The function of BTK in signaling pathways activated by the engagement of the B cell receptor (BCR) and FCER1 on mast cells is well established. Functional mutations in BTK in humans result in a primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by a defect in B cell development with a block between pro- and pre-B cell stages. The result is an almost complete absence of B lymphocytes, causing a pronounced reduction of serum immunoglobulin of all classes. These findings support a key role for BTK in the regulation of the production of auto-antibodies in autoimmune diseases.

Other diseases with an important role for dysfunctional B cells are B cell malignancies. The reported role for BTK in the regulation of proliferation and apoptosis of B cells indicates the potential for BTK inhibitors in the treatment of B cell lymphomas. BTK inhibitors have thus been developed as potential therapies, as described in O. J. D'Cruz and F. M. Uckun, OncoTargets and Therapy 2013, 6, 161-176.

Janus kinase-2 (JAK-2) is an enzyme that is a member of the Janus kinase family of four cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases that also includes JAK-1, JAK-3, and Tyk2 (tyrosine kinase 2). The Janus kinase family transduces cytokine-mediated signals as part of the JAK-STAT signalling pathway (where STAT is an acronym for “signal transducer and activator of transcription”), as described in K. Ghoreschi, A. Laurence, J. J. O'Shea, Janus kinases in immune cell signaling. Immunol. Rev. 2009, 228, 273-287. The JAK-STAT pathway mediates signalling by cytokines that affects proliferation, differentiation, and survival in many cell types, and is commonly expressed in leukocytes. The Janus kinase family of enzymes is required for signaling by cytokine and growth factor receptors that lack intrinsic kinase activity. JAK-2 is implicated in signaling processes by members of the type II cytokine receptor family (such as interferon receptors), the GM-CSF receptor family (IL-3R, IL-5R and GM-CSF-R), the gp130 receptor family (e.g. IL-6R), and the single chain receptors (e.g. Epo-R, Tpo-R, GH-R, PRL-R), as described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2012/0157500, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. JAK-2 signaling is activated downstream from the prolactin receptor. JAK-2 inhibitors were developed after discovery of an activating tyrosine kinase mutation (the V617F mutation) in myeloproliferative cancers and disorders. JAK-2 inhibitors have been developed as potential therapies for myeloproliferative neoplasms, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis, as discussed in S. Verstovsek, Therapeutic potential of JAK2 inhibitors, Hematology (American Society of Hematology Education Book), 2009, 636-642. JAK-2 inhibitorsmay reverse hyperphosphorylation of JAK-2 and effectively treat myeloproliferative cancers and disorders.

In many solid tumors, the supportive microenvironment (which may make up the majority of the tumor mass) is a dynamic force that enables tumor survival. The tumor microenvironment is generally defined as a complex mixture of “cells, soluble factors, signaling molecules, extracellular matrices, and mechanical cues that promote neoplastic transformation, support tumor growth and invasion, protect the tumor from host immunity, foster therapeutic resistance, and provide niches for dominant metastases to thrive,” as described in Swartz, et al., Cancer Res., 2012, 72, 2473. Although tumors express antigens that should be recognized by T cells, tumor clearance by the immune system is rare because of immune suppression by the microenvironment. Addressing the tumor cells themselves with e.g. chemotherapy has also proven to be insufficient to overcome the protective effects of the microenvironment. New approaches are thus urgently needed for more effective treatment of solid tumors that take into account the role of the microenvironment.

The CD20 antigen, also called human B-lymphocyte-restricted differentiation antigen Bp35, or B1), is found on the surface of normal “pre-B” and mature B lymphocytes, including malignant B lymphocytes. Nadler, et al., J. Clin. Invest. 1981, 67, 134-40; Stashenko, et al., J. Immunol. 1980, 139, 3260-85. The CD20 antigen is a glycosylated integral membrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 35 kD. Tedder, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1988, 85, 208-12. CD20 is also expressed on most B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cells, but is not found on hematopoietic stem cells, pro-B cells, normal plasma cells, or other normal tissues. Anti-CD20 antibodies are currently used as therapies for many B cell hematological malignancies, including indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), aggressive NHL, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL). Lim, et. al., Haematologica 2010, 95, 135-43; Beers, et. al., Sem. Hematol. 2010, 47, 107-14; Klein, et al., mAbs 2013, 5, 22-33. However, there is an urgent need to provide for more efficacious therapies in many B cell hematological malignancies.

Unlike a salt, a cocrystal typically does not involve hydrogen transfer between the cocrystal and the drug, and instead involves intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, aromatic ring stacking, or dispersive forces, between the cocrystal former and the drug in the crystal structure.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” is intended to include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and inert ingredients. The use of such pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for active pharmaceutical ingredients is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is incompatible with the active pharmaceutical ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions of the invention is contemplated. Additional active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as other drugs, can also be incorporated into the described compositions and methods.

“Prodrug” is intended to describe a compound that may be converted under physiological conditions or by solvolysis to a biologically active compound described herein. Thus, the term “prodrug” refers to a precursor of a biologically active compound that is pharmaceutically acceptable. A prodrug may be inactive when administered to a subject, but is converted in vivo to an active compound, for example, by hydrolysis. The prodrug compound often offers the advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility or delayed release in a mammalian organism (see, e.g., Bundgaard, H., Design of Prodrugs (1985) (Elsevier, Amsterdam). The term “prodrug” is also intended to include any covalently bonded carriers, which release the active compound in vivo when administered to a subject. Prodrugs of an active compound, as described herein, may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the active compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to yield the active parent compound. Prodrugs include, for example, compounds wherein a hydroxy, amino or mercapto group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug of the active compound is administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, free amino or free mercapto group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetates, formates and benzoate derivatives of an alcohol, various ester derivatives of a carboxylic acid, or acetamide, formamide and benzamide derivatives of an amine functional group in the active compound.

As used herein, the term “warhead” or “warhead group” refers to a functional group present on a compound of the present invention wherein that functional group is capable of covalently binding to an amino acid residue present in the binding pocket of the target protein (such as cysteine, lysine, histidine, or other residues capable of being covalently modified), thereby irreversibly inhibiting the protein.

Unless otherwise stated, the chemical structures depicted herein are intended to include compounds which differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds where one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced by deuterium or tritium, or wherein one or more carbon atoms is replaced by ¹³C- or ¹⁴C-enriched carbons, are within the scope of this invention.

When ranges are used herein to describe, for example, physical or chemical properties such as molecular weight or chemical formulae, all combinations and subcombinations of ranges and specific embodiments therein are intended to be included. Use of the term “about” when referring to a number or a numerical range means that the number or numerical range referred to is an approximation within experimental variability (or within statistical experimental error), and thus the number or numerical range may vary. The variation is typically from 0% to 15%, preferably from 0% to 10%, more preferably from 0% to 5% of the stated number or numerical range. The term “comprising” (and related terms such as “comprise” or “comprises” or “having” or “including”) includes those embodiments such as, for example, an embodiment of any composition of matter, method or process that “consist of” or “consist essentially of” the described features.

“Nitro” refers to the —NO₂ radical.

“Oxa” refers to the —O— radical.

“Oxo” refers to the ═O radical.

“Isomers” are different compounds that have the same molecular formula.

“Stereoisomers” are isomers that differ only in the way the atoms are arranged in space—i.e., having a different stereochemical configuration. “Enantiomers” are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a “racemic” mixture. The term “(±)” is used to designate a racemic mixture where appropriate. “Diastereoisomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other. The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog R—S system. When a compound is a pure enantiomer the stereochemistry at each chiral carbon can be specified by either (R) or (S). Resolved compounds whose absolute configuration is unknown can be designated (+) or (−) depending on the direction (dextro- or levorotatory) which they rotate plane polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line. Certain of the compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that can be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R) or (S). The present chemical entities, pharmaceutical compositions and methods are meant to include all such possible isomers, including racemic mixtures, optically pure forms and intermediate mixtures. Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers.

“Enantiomeric purity” as used herein refers to the relative amounts, expressed as a percentage, of the presence of a specific enantiomer relative to the other enantiomer. For example, if a compound, which may potentially have an (R)- or an (S)-isomeric configuration, is present as a racemic mixture, the enantiomeric purity is about 50% with respect to either the (R)- or (S)-isomer. If that compound has one isomeric form predominant over the other, for example, 80% (S)-isomer and 20% (R)-isomer, the enantiomeric purity of the compound with respect to the (S)-isomeric form is 80%. The enantiomeric purity of a compound can be determined in a number of ways known in the art, including but not limited to chromatography using a chiral support, polarimetric measurement of the rotation of polarized light, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy using chiral shift reagents which include but are not limited to lanthanide containing chiral complexes or Pirkle's reagents, or derivatization of a compounds using a chiral compound such as Mosher's acid followed by chromatography or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

In preferred embodiments, the enantiomerically enriched composition has a higher potency with respect to therapeutic utility per unit mass than does the racemic mixture of that composition. Enantiomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred enantiomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions, Wiley Interscience, New York (1981); E. L. Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds, McGraw-Hill, New York (1962); and E. L. Eliel and S. H. Wilen, Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds, Wiley-Interscience, New York (1994).

The terms “enantiomerically enriched” and “non-racemic,” as used herein, refer to compositions in which the percent by weight of one enantiomer is greater than the amount of that one enantiomer in a control mixture of the racemic composition (e.g., greater than 1:1 by weight). For example, an enantiomerically enriched preparation of the (S)-enantiomer, means a preparation of the compound having greater than 50% by weight of the (S)-enantiomer relative to the (R)-enantiomer, such as at least 75% by weight, or such as at least 80% by weight. In some embodiments, the enrichment can be significantly greater than 80% by weight, providing a “substantially enantiomerically enriched” or a “substantially non-racemic” preparation, which refers to preparations of compositions which have at least 85% by weight of one enantiomer relative to other enantiomer, such as at least 90% by weight, or such as at least 95% by weight. The terms “enantiomerically pure” or “substantially enantiomerically pure” refers to a composition that comprises at least 98% of a single enantiomer and less than 2% of the opposite enantiomer.

“Moiety” refers to a specific segment or functional group of a molecule. Chemical moieties are often recognized chemical entities embedded in or appended to a molecule.

“Tautomers” are structurally distinct isomers that interconvert by tautomerization. “Tautomerization” is a form of isomerization and includes prototropic or proton-shift tautomerization, which is considered a subset of acid-base chemistry. “Prototropic tautomerization” or “proton-shift tautomerization” involves the migration of a proton accompanied by changes in bond order, often the interchange of a single bond with an adjacent double bond. Where tautomerization is possible (e.g., in solution), a chemical equilibrium of tautomers can be reached. An example of tautomerization is keto-enol tautomerization. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the interconversion of pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerization is phenol-keto tautomerization. A specific example of phenol-keto tautomerization is the interconversion of pyridin-4-ol and pyridin-4(1H)-one tautomers.

A “leaving group or atom” is any group or atom that will, under selected reaction conditions, cleave from the starting material, thus promoting reaction at a specified site. Examples of such groups, unless otherwise specified, include halogen atoms and mesyloxy, p-nitrobenzensulphonyloxy and tosyloxy groups.

“Protecting group” is intended to mean a group that selectively blocks one or more reactive sites in a multifunctional compound such that a chemical reaction can be carried out selectively on another unprotected reactive site and the group can then be readily removed or deprotected after the selective reaction is complete. A variety of protecting groups are disclosed, for example, in T. H. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1999).

“Solvate” refers to a compound in physical association with one or more molecules of a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent.

“Substituted” means that the referenced group may have attached one or more additional groups, radicals or moieties individually and independently selected from, for example, acyl, alkyl, alkylaryl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, aryl, carbohydrate, carbonate, heteroaryl, heterocycloalkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, mercapto, alkylthio, arylthio, cyano, halo, carbonyl, ester, thiocarbonyl, isocyanato, thiocyanato, isothiocyanato, nitro, oxo, perhaloalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, phosphate, silyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, sulfonamidyl, sulfoxyl, sulfonate, urea, and amino, including mono- and di-substituted amino groups, and protected derivatives thereof. The substituents themselves may be substituted, for example, a cycloalkyl substituent may itself have a halide substituent at one or more of its ring carbons. The term “optionally substituted” means optional substitution with the specified groups, radicals or moieties.

“Sulfanyl” refers to groups that include —S-(optionally substituted alkyl), —S-(optionally substituted aryl), —S-(optionally substituted heteroaryl) and —S-(optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl).

“Sulfinyl” refers to groups that include —S(O)—H, —S(O)-(optionally substituted alkyl), —S(O)-(optionally substituted amino), —S(O)-(optionally substituted aryl), —S(O)-(optionally substituted heteroaryl) and —S(O)-(optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl).

“Sulfonamidyl” or “sulfonamido” refers to a —S(═O)₂—NRR radical, where each R is selected independently from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl (bonded through a ring carbon) and heteroalicyclic (bonded through a ring carbon). The R groups in —NRR of the —S(═O)₂—NRR radical may be taken together with the nitrogen to which it is attached to form a 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered ring. A sulfonamido group is optionally substituted by one or more of the substituents described for alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, respectively.

“Sulfoxyl” refers to a —S(═O)₂OH radical.

“Sulfonate” refers to a —S(═O)₂—OR radical, where R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl (bonded through a ring carbon) and heteroalicyclic (bonded through a ring carbon). A sulfonate group is optionally substituted on R by one or more of the substituents described for alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, respectively.

Compounds of the invention also include crystalline and amorphous forms of those compounds, including, for example, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, solvates, hydrates, unsolvated polymorphs (including anhydrates), conformational polymorphs, and amorphous forms of the compounds, as well as mixtures thereof. “Crystalline form” and “polymorph” are intended to include all crystalline and amorphous forms of the compound, including, for example, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, solvates, hydrates, unsolvated polymorphs (including anhydrates), conformational polymorphs, and amorphous forms, as well as mixtures thereof, unless a particular crystalline or amorphous form is referred to.

Then a solution of acryloyl chloride (12 mg, 0.17 mmol) in dichloromethane (1 mL) is added dropwise. After stirring at RT for 4 hours, the mixture is partitioned between 100 mL of dichloromethane and 100 mL of brine. The organic layer is separated from aqueous layer, washed with brine (100 mL×2) and dried over Na₂SO₄. The material is concentrated and purified by Pre-TLC (eluted with dichloromethane/MeOH=10/1) to afford 4 mg (5.5%) of 1-(1-acryloylpiperidine-3-yl)-5-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide as a white solid.

The enantiomers of Formula (B1) provided by the procedure above may be prepared from 5-amino-3-(phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile and (S)-tert-butyl 3-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate using a similar procedure (step 4 to 8) for Formula (B1-2), or from (R)-tert-butyl 3-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate using a similar procedure (step 4 to 8) for Formula (B1-3). Under appropriate conditions recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art, a racemic mixture of Formula (B1) may be separated by chiral HPLC, the crystallization of chiral salts, or other means described above to yield Formula (B1-2) and Formula (B1-3) of high enantiomeric purity.

Ruxolitinib may be prepared according to the procedures given in the references above, or by the procedure of Example 67 of U.S. Pat. No. 7,598,257, the disclosure of which is specifically incorporated by reference herein. Briefly, the preparation is as follows:

Step 1

(2E)- and (2Z)-3-Cyclopentylacrylonitrile. To a solution of 1.0 M potassium tert-butoxide in THF (235 mL) at 0° C. was added dropwise a solution of diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate (39.9 mL, 0.246 mol) in TBF (300 mL). The cold bath was removed and the reaction was warmed to room temperature followed by recooling to 0° C., at which time a solution of cyclopentanecarbaldehyde (22.0 g, 0.224 mol) in THF (60 mL) was added dropwise. The bath was removed and the reaction warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 64 hours. The mixture was partitioned between diethyl ether and water, the aqueous was extracted with three portions of ether, followed by two portions of ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine, then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford a mixture containing 24.4 g of olefin isomers which was used without further purification (89%). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 6.69 (dd, 1H, trans olefin), 6.37 (t, 1H, cis olefin), 5.29 (dd, 1H, trans olefin), 5.20 (d, 1H, cis olefin), 3.07-2.95 (m, 1H, cis product), 2.64-2.52 (m, 1H, trans product), 1.98-1.26 (m, 16H).

Step 2

(3R)- and (3S)-3-Cyclopentyl-3-[4-(7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]propanenitrile. To a solution of 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidine (15.0 g, 0.0476 mol) in ACN (300 mL) was added 3-cyclopentylacrylonitrile (15 g, 0.12 mol) (as a mixture of cis and trans isomers), followed by DBU (15 mL, 0.10 mol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The ACN was evaporated. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and the solution was washed with 1.0 N HCl. The aqueous layer was back-extracted with three portions of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (gradient of ethyl acetate/hexanes) to yield a viscous clear syrup, which was dissolved in ethanol and evaporated several times to remove ethyl acetate, to afford 19.4 g of racemic adduct (93%). The enantiomers were separated by preparative-HPLC, (OD-H column, 15% ethanol/hexanes) and used separately in the next step to generate their corresponding final product. The final products (see Step 3) stemming from each of the separated enantiomers were found to be active JAK inhibitors; however, the final product stemming from the second peak to elute from the preparative-HPLC was more active than its enantiomer. The products may be isolated by preparative HPLC or other means known to those of skill in the art for use in Step 3 below. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.85 (s, 1H), 8.32 (s, 2H), 7.39 (d, 1H), 6.80 (d, 1H), 5.68 (s, 2H), 4.26 (dt, 1H), 3.54 (t, 2H), 3.14 (dd, 1H), 2.95 (dd, 1H), 2.67-2.50 (m, 1H), 2.03-1.88 (m, 1H), 1.80-1.15 (m, 7H), 0.92 (t, 2H), −0.06 (s, 9H); MS(ES): 437 (M+1).

Step 3

To a solution of 3-cyclopentyl-3-[4-(7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]propanenitrile (6.5 g, 0.015 mol, R or S enantiomer as isolated above) in DCM (40 mL) was added TFA (16 mL) and this was stirred for 6 hours. The solvent and TFA were removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in DCM and concentrated using a rotary evaporator two further times to remove as much as possible of the TFA. Following this, the residue was stirred with ethylenediamine (4 mL, 0.06 mol) in methanol (30 mL) overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo, water was added and the product was extracted into three portions of ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, decanted and concentrated to afford the crude product which was purified by flash column chromatography (eluting with a gradient of methanol/DCM). The resulting mixture was further purified by preparative-HPLC/MS (C18 eluting with a gradient of ACN/H2O containing 0.15% NH4OH) to afford product (2.68 g, 58%). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, D6-dmso): δ 12.11 (br s, 1H), 8.80 (s, 1H), 8.67 (s, 1H), 8.37 (s, 1H), 7.60 (d, 1H), 6.98 (d, 1H), 4.53 (dt, 1H), 3.27 (dd, 1H), 3.19 (dd, 1H), 2.48-2.36 (m, 1H), 1.86-1.76 (m, 1H), 1.68-1.13 (m, 7H); MS(ES): 307 (M+1).

Ruxolitinib prepared according to the steps above, or any other procedure, may be used as its free base for the compositions and methods described herein. Ruxolitinib may also be used in a salt form. For example, a crystalline phosphoric acid salt of (R)-3-(4-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-cyclopentylpropanenitrile may be prepared from the free base as follows according to the procedure given in Example 2 of U.S. Pat. No. 8,722,693, the disclosure of which is specifically incorporated herein by reference. To a test tube was added (R)-3-(4-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-cyclopentylpropanenitrile (153.5 mg) and phosphoric acid (56.6 mg) followed by isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (5.75 mL). The resulting mixture was heated to clear, cooled to room temperature, and then stirred for another 2 hours. The precipitate was collected by filtration and the cake was washed with 0.6 mL of cold IPA. The cake was dried under vacuum to constant weight to provide the final salt product (171.7 mg). The phosphroic acid salt is a 1:1 salt by ¹H NMR and crystallinity is confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the produce yields a sharp melting peak at about 198.7° C.

Described below are non-limiting pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preparing the same.

Pharmaceutical Compositions for Oral Administration

In preferred embodiments, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for oral administration containing the combination of a PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitor, and a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for oral administration.

In preferred embodiments, the invention provides a solid pharmaceutical composition for oral administration containing: (i) an effective amount of each of a PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitor in combination and (ii) a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for oral administration. In some embodiments, the composition further contains (iii) an effective amount of a fourth active pharmaceutical ingredient.

In some embodiments, the invention provides a solid pharmaceutical composition for oral administration containing: (i) an effective amount of a JAK-2 inhibitor in combination with a PI3K inhibitor and (ii) a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for oral administration. In selected embodiments, the composition further contains (iii) an effective amount of a third active pharmaceutical ingredient.

In preferred embodiments, the invention provides a solid pharmaceutical composition for oral administration containing: (i) an effective amount of a JAK-2 inhibitor in combination with a BTK inhibitor and (ii) a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for oral administration. In selected embodiments, the composition further contains (iii) an effective amount of a third active pharmaceutical ingredient.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be a liquid pharmaceutical composition suitable for oral consumption. Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention suitable for oral administration can be presented as discrete dosage forms, such as capsules, cachets, or tablets, or liquids or aerosol sprays each containing a predetermined amount of an active ingredient as a powder or in granules, a solution, or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, an oil-in-water emulsion, or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. Such dosage forms can be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy, but all methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient(s) into association with the carrier, which constitutes one or more necessary ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient(s) with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired presentation. For example, a tablet can be prepared by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with an excipient such as, but not limited to, a binder, a lubricant, an inert diluent, and/or a surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets can be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent.

The invention further encompasses anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms since water can facilitate the degradation of some compounds. For example, water may be added (e.g., 5%) in the pharmaceutical arts as a means of simulating long-term storage in order to determine characteristics such as shelf-life or the stability of formulations over time. Anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention can be prepared using anhydrous or low moisture containing ingredients and low moisture or low humidity conditions. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention which contain lactose can be made anhydrous if substantial contact with moisture and/or humidity during manufacturing, packaging, and/or storage is expected. An anhydrous pharmaceutical composition may be prepared and stored such that its anhydrous nature is maintained. Accordingly, anhydrous compositions may be packaged using materials known to prevent exposure to water such that they can be included in suitable formulary kits. Examples of suitable packaging include, but are not limited to, hermetically sealed foils, plastic or the like, unit dose containers, blister packs, and strip packs.

Each of the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors as active ingredients can be combined in an intimate admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The carrier can take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. In preparing the compositions for an oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media can be employed as carriers, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents, and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations (such as suspensions, solutions, and elixirs) or aerosols; or carriers such as starches, sugars, micro-crystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, and disintegrating agents can be used in the case of oral solid preparations, in some embodiments without employing the use of lactose. For example, suitable carriers include powders, capsules, and tablets, with the solid oral preparations. If desired, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques.

Binders suitable for use in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms include, but are not limited to, corn starch, potato starch, or other starches, gelatin, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, sodium alginate, alginic acid, other alginates, powdered tragacanth, guar gum, cellulose and its derivatives (e.g., ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, carboxymethyl cellulose calcium, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, pre-gelatinized starch, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, and mixtures thereof.

Examples of suitable fillers for use in the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, talc, calcium carbonate (e.g., granules or powder), microcrystalline cellulose, powdered cellulose, dextrates, kaolin, mannitol, silicic acid, sorbitol, starch, pre-gelatinized starch, and mixtures thereof.

Disintegrants may be used in the compositions of the invention to provide tablets that disintegrate when exposed to an aqueous environment. Too much of a disintegrant may produce tablets which disintegrate in the bottle. Too little may be insufficient for disintegration to occur, thus altering the rate and extent of release of the active ingredients from the dosage form. Thus, a sufficient amount of disintegrant that is neither too little nor too much to detrimentally alter the release of the active ingredient(s) may be used to form the dosage forms of the compounds disclosed herein. The amount of disintegrant used may vary based upon the type of formulation and mode of administration, and may be readily discernible to those of ordinary skill in the art. About 0.5 to about 15 weight percent of disintegrant, or about 1 to about 5 weight percent of disintegrant, may be used in the pharmaceutical composition. Disintegrants that can be used to form pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, agar-agar, alginic acid, calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, polacrilin potassium, sodium starch glycolate, potato or tapioca starch, other starches, pre-gelatinized starch, other starches, clays, other algins, other celluloses, gums or mixtures thereof.

Lubricants which can be used to form pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, mineral oil, light mineral oil, glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, polyethylene glycol, other glycols, stearic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, hydrogenated vegetable oil (e.g., peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and soybean oil), zinc stearate, ethyl oleate, ethylaureate, agar, or mixtures thereof. Additional lubricants include, for example, a syloid silica gel, a coagulated aerosol of synthetic silica, or mixtures thereof. A lubricant can optionally be added, in an amount of less than about 1 weight percent of the pharmaceutical composition.

When aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs are desired for oral administration, the essential active ingredient therein may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matter or dyes and, if so desired, emulsifying and/or suspending agents, together with such diluents as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin and various combinations thereof.

The tablets can be uncoated or coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate can be employed. Formulations for oral use can also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example, peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.

Surfactants which can be used to form pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, hydrophilic surfactants, lipophilic surfactants, and mixtures thereof. That is, a mixture of hydrophilic surfactants may be employed, a mixture of lipophilic surfactants may be employed, or a mixture of at least one hydrophilic surfactant and at least one lipophilic surfactant may be employed.

A suitable hydrophilic surfactant may generally have an HLB value of at least 10, while suitable lipophilic surfactants may generally have an HLB value of or less than about 10. An empirical parameter used to characterize the relative hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of non-ionic amphiphilic compounds is the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (“HLB” value). Surfactants with lower HLB values are more lipophilic or hydrophobic, and have greater solubility in oils, while surfactants with higher HLB values are more hydrophilic, and have greater solubility in aqueous solutions. Hydrophilic surfactants are generally considered to be those compounds having an HLB value greater than about 10, as well as anionic, cationic, or zwitterionic compounds for which the HLB scale is not generally applicable. Similarly, lipophilic (i.e., hydrophobic) surfactants are compounds having an HLB value equal to or less than about 10.

In an embodiment, the composition may include a solubilizer to ensure good solubilization and/or dissolution of the compound of the present invention and to minimize precipitation of the compound of the present invention. This can be especially important for compositions for non-oral use—e.g., compositions for injection. A solubilizer may also be added to increase the solubility of the hydrophilic drug and/or other components, such as surfactants, or to maintain the composition as a stable or homogeneous solution or dispersion.

Examples of suitable solubilizers include, but are not limited to, the following: alcohols and polyols, such as ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, benzyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butanediols and isomers thereof, glycerol, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, mannitol, transcutol, dimethyl isosorbide, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyvinylalcohol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and other cellulose derivatives, cyclodextrins and cyclodextrin derivatives; ethers of polyethylene glycols having an average molecular weight of about 200 to about 6000, such as tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol PEG ether (glycofurol) or methoxy PEG; amides and other nitrogen-containing compounds such as 2-pyrrolidone, 2-piperidone, ε-caprolactam, N-alkylpyrrolidone, N-hydroxyalkylpyrrolidone, N-alkylpiperidone, N-alkylcaprolactam, dimethylacetamide and polyvinylpyrrolidone; esters such as ethyl propionate, tributylcitrate, acetyl triethylcitrate, acetyl tributyl citrate, triethylcitrate, ethyl oleate, ethyl caprylate, ethyl butyrate, triacetin, propylene glycol monoacetate, propylene glycol diacetate, .epsilon.-caprolactone and isomers thereof, δ-valerolactone and isomers thereof, β-butyrolactone and isomers thereof; and other solubilizers known in the art, such as dimethyl acetamide, dimethyl isosorbide, N-methyl pyrrolidones, monooctanoin, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and water.

Particularly preferred solubilizers include sorbitol, glycerol, triacetin, ethyl alcohol, PEG-400, glycofurol and propylene glycol.

The amount of solubilizer that can be included is not particularly limited. The amount of a given solubilizer may be limited to a bioacceptable amount, which may be readily determined by one of skill in the art. In some circumstances, it may be advantageous to include amounts of solubilizers far in excess of bioacceptable amounts, for example to maximize the concentration of the drug, with excess solubilizer removed prior to providing the composition to a patient using conventional techniques, such as distillation or evaporation. Thus, if present, the solubilizer can be in a weight ratio of 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, or up to about 200% by weight, based on the combined weight of the drug, and other excipients. If desired, very small amounts of solubilizer may also be used, such as 5%, 2%, 1% or even less. Typically, the solubilizer may be present in an amount of about 1% to about 100%, more typically about 5% to about 25% by weight.

The composition can further include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable additives and excipients. Such additives and excipients include, without limitation, detackifiers, anti-foaming agents, buffering agents, polymers, antioxidants, preservatives, chelating agents, viscomodulators, tonicifiers, flavorants, colorants, odorants, opacifiers, suspending agents, binders, fillers, plasticizers, lubricants, and mixtures thereof.

In addition, an acid or a base may be incorporated into the composition to facilitate processing, to enhance stability, or for other reasons. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable bases include amino acids, amino acid esters, ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydrogen carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium aluminum silicate, synthetic aluminum silicate, synthetic hydrocalcite, magnesium aluminum hydroxide, diisopropylethylamine, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, triethanolamine, triethylamine, triisopropanolamine, trimethylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS) and the like. Also suitable are bases that are salts of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid, such as acetic acid, acrylic acid, adipic acid, alginic acid, alkanesulfonic acid, amino acids, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, boric acid, butyric acid, carbonic acid, citric acid, fatty acids, formic acid, fumaric acid, gluconic acid, hydroquinosulfonic acid, isoascorbic acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, oxalic acid, para-bromophenylsulfonic acid, propionic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, succinic acid, tannic acid, tartaric acid, thioglycolic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, uric acid, and the like. Salts of polyprotic acids, such as sodium phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, and sodium dihydrogen phosphate can also be used. When the base is a salt, the cation can be any convenient and pharmaceutically acceptable cation, such as ammonium, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. Example may include, but not limited to, sodium, potassium, lithium, magnesium, calcium and ammonium.

Suitable acids are pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic acids. Examples of suitable inorganic acids include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydriodic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, boric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. Examples of suitable organic acids include acetic acid, acrylic acid, adipic acid, alginic acid, alkanesulfonic acids, amino acids, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, boric acid, butyric acid, carbonic acid, citric acid, fatty acids, formic acid, fumaric acid, gluconic acid, hydroquinosulfonic acid, isoascorbic acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, methanesulfonic acid, oxalic acid, para-bromophenylsulfonic acid, propionic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, succinic acid, tannic acid, tartaric acid, thioglycolic acid, toluenesulfonic acid and uric acid.

Pharmaceutical Compositions for Injection

In preferred embodiments, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for injection containing the combination of the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors, most preferably a combination of the JAK-2 and BTK inhibitors, and a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for injection. Components and amounts of agents in the compositions are as described herein.

The forms in which the compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration by injection include aqueous or oil suspensions, or emulsions, with sesame oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs, mannitol, dextrose, or a sterile aqueous solution, and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

Aqueous solutions in saline are also conventionally used for injection. Ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol (and suitable mixtures thereof), cyclodextrin derivatives, and vegetable oils may also be employed. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating, such as lecithin, for the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid and thimerosal.

Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the combination of the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors in the required amounts in the appropriate solvent with various other ingredients as enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, certain desirable methods of preparation are vacuum-drying and freeze-drying techniques which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.

Pharmaceutical Compositions for Topical Delivery

In preferred embodiments, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for transdermal delivery containing the combination of the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors, most preferably a combination of the JAK-2 and BTK inhibitors, and a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for transdermal delivery.

Compositions of the present invention can be formulated into preparations in solid, semi-solid, or liquid forms suitable for local or topical administration, such as gels, water soluble jellies, creams, lotions, suspensions, foams, powders, slurries, ointments, solutions, oils, pastes, suppositories, sprays, emulsions, saline solutions, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-based solutions. In general, carriers with higher densities are capable of providing an area with a prolonged exposure to the active ingredients. In contrast, a solution formulation may provide more immediate exposure of the active ingredient to the chosen area.

The pharmaceutical compositions also may comprise suitable solid or gel phase carriers or excipients, which are compounds that allow increased penetration of, or assist in the delivery of, therapeutic molecules across the stratum corneum permeability barrier of the skin. There are many of these penetration-enhancing molecules known to those trained in the art of topical formulation. Examples of such carriers and excipients include, but are not limited to, humectants (e.g., urea), glycols (e.g., propylene glycol), alcohols (e.g., ethanol), fatty acids (e.g., oleic acid), surfactants (e.g., isopropyl myristate and sodium lauryl sulfate), pyrrolidones, glycerol monolaurate, sulfoxides, terpenes (e.g., menthol), amines, amides, alkanes, alkanols, water, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars, starches, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, and polymers such as polyethylene glycols.

Another exemplary formulation for use in the methods of the present invention employs transdermal delivery devices (“patches”). Such transdermal patches may be used to provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the combination of the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors in controlled amounts, either with or without another active pharmaceutical ingredient.

The construction and use of transdermal patches for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents is well known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,023,252; 4,992,445 and 5,001,139. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents.

Pharmaceutical Compositions for Inhalation

Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. Preferably the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in preferably pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be inhaled directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device may be attached to a face mask tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered, preferably orally or nasally, from devices that deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner. Dry powder inhalers may also be used to provide inhaled delivery of the compositions.

Other Pharmaceutical Compositions

Pharmaceutical compositions may also be prepared from compositions described herein and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients suitable for sublingual, buccal, rectal, intraosseous, intraocular, intranasal, epidural, or intraspinal administration. Preparations for such pharmaceutical compositions are well-known in the art. See, e.g., Anderson, Philip O.; Knoben, James E.; Troutman, William G, eds., Handbook of Clinical Drug Data, Tenth Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2002; and Pratt and Taylor, eds., Principles of Drug Action, Third Edition, Churchill Livingston, N.Y., 1990, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

Administration of the combination of the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors or pharmaceutical composition of these compounds can be effected by any method that enables delivery of the compounds to the site of action. These methods include oral routes, intraduodenal routes, parenteral injection (including intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravascular, intraperitoneal or infusion), topical (e.g., transdermal application), rectal administration, via local delivery by catheter or stent or through inhalation. The combination of compounds can also be administered intraadiposally or intrathecally.

The compositions of the invention may also be delivered via an impregnated or coated device such as a stent, for example, or an artery-inserted cylindrical polymer. Such a method of administration may, for example, aid in the prevention or amelioration of restenosis following procedures such as balloon angioplasty. Without being bound by theory, compounds of the invention may slow or inhibit the migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the arterial wall which contribute to restenosis. A compound of the invention may be administered, for example, by local delivery from the struts of a stent, from a stent graft, from grafts, or from the cover or sheath of a stent. In some embodiments, a compound of the invention is admixed with a matrix. Such a matrix may be a polymeric matrix, and may serve to bond the compound to the stent. Polymeric matrices suitable for such use, include, for example, lactone-based polyesters or copolyesters such as polylactide, polycaprolactonglycolide, polyorthoesters, polyanhydrides, polyaminoacids, polysaccharides, polyphosphazenes, poly(ether-ester) copolymers (e.g. PEO-PLLA); polydimethylsiloxane, poly(ethylene-vinylacetate), acrylate-based polymers or copolymers (e.g., polyhydroxyethyl methylmethacrylate, polyvinyl pyrrolidinone), fluorinated polymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene and cellulose esters. Suitable matrices may be nondegrading or may degrade with time, releasing the compound or compounds. The combination of the JAK-2, PI3K, and/or BTK inhibitors may be applied to the surface of the stent by various methods such as dip/spin coating, spray coating, dip-coating, and/or brush-coating. The compounds may be applied in a solvent and the solvent may be allowed to evaporate, thus forming a layer of compound onto the stent. Alternatively, the compound may be located in the body of the stent or graft, for example in microchannels or micropores. When implanted, the compound diffuses out of the body of the stent to contact the arterial wall. Such stents may be prepared by dipping a stent manufactured to contain such micropores or microchannels into a solution of the compound of the invention in a suitable solvent, followed by evaporation of the solvent. Excess drug on the surface of the stent may be removed via an additional brief solvent wash. In yet other embodiments, compounds of the invention may be covalently linked to a stent or graft. A covalent linker may be used which degrades in vivo, leading to the release of the compound of the invention. Any bio-labile linkage may be used for such a purpose, such as ester, amide or anhydride linkages. The combination of the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors may additionally be administered intravascularly from a balloon used during angioplasty. Extravascular administration of the combination of the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors via the pericard or via advential application of formulations of the invention may also be performed to decrease restenosis.

Exemplary parenteral administration forms include solutions or suspensions of active compound in sterile aqueous solutions, for example, aqueous propylene glycol or dextrose solutions. Such dosage forms can be suitably buffered, if desired.

The invention also provides kits. The kits include each of the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors, either alone or in combination in suitable packaging, and written material that can include instructions for use, discussion of clinical studies and listing of side effects. Such kits may also include information, such as scientific literature references, package insert materials, clinical trial results, and/or summaries of these and the like, which indicate or establish the activities and/or advantages of the composition, and/or which describe dosing, administration, side effects, drug interactions, or other information useful to the health care provider. Such information may be based on the results of various studies, for example, studies using experimental animals involving in vivo models and studies based on human clinical trials. The kit may further contain another active pharmaceutical ingredient. In selected embodiments, the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors and another active pharmaceutical ingredient are provided as separate compositions in separate containers within the kit. In selected embodiments, the PI3K, JAK-2, and BTK inhibitors and the agent are provided as a single composition within a container in the kit. Suitable packaging and additional articles for use (e.g., measuring cup for liquid preparations, foil wrapping to minimize exposure to air, and the like) are known in the art and may be included in the kit. Kits described herein can be provided, marketed and/or promoted to health providers, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, formulary officials, and the like. Kits may also, in selected embodiments, be marketed directly to the consumer.

Dosages and Dosing Regimens

The amounts of BTK inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, and JAK-2 inhibitors administered will be dependent on the human or mammal being treated, the severity of the disorder or condition, the rate of administration, the disposition of the compounds and the discretion of the prescribing physician. However, an effective dosage is in the range of about 0.001 to about 100 mg per kg body weight per day, such as about 1 to about 35 mg/kg/day, in single or divided doses. For a 70 kg human, this would amount to about 0.05 to 7 g/day, such as about 0.05 to about 2.5 g/day. In some instances, dosage levels below the lower limit of the aforesaid range may be more than adequate, while in other cases still larger doses may be employed without causing any harmful side effect—e.g., by dividing such larger doses into several small doses for administration throughout the day. The dosage of BTK inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, and JAK-2 inhibitors may be provided in units of mg/kg of body mass or in mg/m² of body surface area. In an embodiment, the ratio of the dose of the JAK-2 inhibitor to the dose of the BTK inhibitor in mg/kg or in mg/m² is in the range from 10:1 to 1:10, preferably from 2.5:1 to 1:2.5, and more preferably about 1:1.

Example 1 Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and a PI3K-δ Inhibitor

Ficoll purified mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cells (2×10⁵) isolated from bone marrow or peripheral blood were treated with each drug alone and with six equimolar concentrations of a BTK inhibitor (Formula (XVIII)) and a PI3K-δ inhibitor (Formula (IX)) ranging from 0.01 nM to 10 μM on 96-well plates in triplicate. Plated cells were then cultured in HS-5 conditioned media at 37° C. with 5% CO₂. After 72 hours of culture, cell viability was determined using an (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) (MTS) assay (Cell Titer 96, Promega). Viability data were used to generate cell viability curves for each drug alone and in combination for each sample. The potential synergy of the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-δ inhibitor of Formula (IX) at a given equimolar concentration was determined using the median effect model as described in Chou and Talalay, Adv Enzyme Regul. 1984, 22, 27-55. The statistical modeling was run in R using a script that utilizes the median effect model as described in Lee et al., J. Biopharm. Stat. 2007, 17, 461-80. A value of 1, less than 1, and greater than 1 using R defines an additive interaction, a synergistic interaction, and an antagonistic interaction, respectively. The Lee et al. method calculates a 95% confidence interval for each data point. For each viability curve, to be considered synergistic, a data point must have an interaction index below 1 and the upper confidence interval must also be below 1. In order to summarize and demonstrate collective synergy results, an interaction dot blot was generated for the primary patient samples.

A similar approach was utilized to study diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (TMD8) and MCL (MINO) cell lines. Cells were treated with each drug alone and with six equimolar concentrations of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-δ inhibitor of Formula (IX) ranging from 0.003 nM to 1.0 μM (for TMD8) or 0.03 nM to 10 μM (for MINO) on 96-well plates in triplicate. Plated cells were then cultured in standard conditioned media plus FBS at 37° C. with 5% CO₂. After 72 hours of culture, viability was determined using an MTS assay (Cell Titer 96, Promega). Viability data were used to generate cell viability curves for each drug alone and in combination for each sample. The results of the experiments described in this example are shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4.

Example 2 Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and a PI3K-δ Inhibitor

Combination experiments were performed to determine the synergistic, additive, or antagonistic behavior of drug combinations using the Chou/Talalay method/algorithm by defining combination indexes for drug combinations. Information about experimental design for evaluation of synergy is described in e.g. Chou and Talalay, Adv. Enzyme Regul. 1984, 22, 27-55 and more generally in e.g. Greco et al., Pharmacol. Rev. 1995, 47, 331-385. The study was performed using the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-δ inhibitor of Formula (IX). Single drug activities were first determined in the various cell lines and subsequently, the combination indexes were established using equimolar ratios taking the single agent drug EC50s into consideration. For individual drugs that displayed no single drug activity, equimolar ratios were used at fixed concentrations to establish combination indexes. The readout from 72 hour proliferation assays using Cell TiterGlo (ATP content of remaining cells) determined the fraction of cells that were effected as compared to untreated cells (Fa=fraction affected=(1−((cells+inhibitor) background signal)/((cells+DMSO) background signal)).

The combination index obtained was ranked according to Table 2.

TABLE 2 Combination Index (CI) Ranking Scheme Range of CI Description <0.1 Very strong synergism 0.1-0.3 Strong synergism 0.3-0.7 Synergism  0.7-0.85 Moderate synergism 0.85-0.9  Slight synergism 0.9-1.1 Nearly additive 1.1-1.2 Slight antagonism  1.2-1.45 Moderate antagonism 1.45-3.3  Antagonism 3.3-10  Strong antagonism >10 Very strong antagonism

Example 5 BTK Inhibitory Effects on Solid Tumor Microenvironment in an Orthotopic Pancreatic Cancer Model

An orthotopic pancreatic cancer model was used to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-δ inhibitor of Formula (IX) through treatment of the solid tumor microenvironment. Mice were dosed orally with 15 mg/kg of Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg of Formula (IX), or a combination of 15 mg/kg of both drugs.

Cell line derived from KrasG12D;Trp53R¹⁷²H;Pdx1-Cre (KPC) mice were orthotopically implanted into the head of the pancreas after 35 passages. Based on the mice background from where the cell lines were generated, 1×10⁶ cells were injected in C57BL/6 mice. Throughout the experiment, animals were provided with food and water ad libitum and subjected to a 12-h dark/light cycle. Animal studies were performed in accordance with the U.S. Public Health Service “Guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” (IACUC). After euthanization, pancreatic tumors were dissected out, weighed and single cell suspensions were prepared for flow cytometry analysis.

Results of the experiments are shown in FIG. 95, which illustrates tumor growth suppression in the orthotopic pancreatic cancer model. The statistical p-value (presumption against null hypothesis) is shown for each tested single agent and for the combination against the vehicle. The results show that all three treatments provide statistically significant reductions in tumor volume in the pancreatic cancer model.

Additional results of the experiments relating to treatment of the tumor microenvironment are shown in FIG. 96 to FIG. 98. FIG. 96 shows the effects of oral dosing with 15 mg/kg of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg of the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX), or a combination of both drugs on myeloid tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. FIG. 97 illustrates the effects of oral dosing with 15 mg/kg of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg of the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX), or a combination of both inhibitors on myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. FIG. 98 illustrates the effects of oral dosing with 15 mg/kg of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg of the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX), or a combination of both inhibitors on regulatory T cells (Tregs) in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. The results shown in FIG. 96 to FIG. 98 demonstrate that administration of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX) reduce immunosuppressive tumor associated myeloid cells and Tregs in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. Overall, BTK inhibition with Formula (XVIII) or a combination of Formula (XVIII) and Formula (IX) significantly reduced tumor burden in an aggressive orthotopic PDA model, decreased immature myeloid infiltrate, reduced the number of tumor associated macrophages, and reduced the number of immunosuppressive Tregs, demonstrating a strong effect on the tumor microenvironment.

Example 6 BTK Inhibitory Effects on Solid Tumor Microenvironment in an Ovarian Cancer Model

The ID8 syngeneic orthotropic ovarian cancer murine model was used to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) through treatment of the solid tumor microenvironment. Human ovarian cancer models, including the ID8 syngeneic orthotropic ovarian cancer model and other animal models, are described in Fong and Kakar, J. Ovarian Res. 2009, 2, 12; Greenaway et al., Gynecol. Oncol. 2008, 108, 385-94; Urzua et al., Tumour Biol. 2005, 26, 236-44; Janat-Amsbury et al., Anticancer Res. 2006, 26, 3223-28; Janat-Amsbury et al., Anticancer Res. 2006, 26, 2785-89. Animals were treated with vehicle or Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg/BID given orally. The results of the study are shown in FIG. 99, FIG. 100, FIG. 101, FIG. 102, FIG. 103, FIG. 104, FIG. 105, and FIG. 106.

FIG. 99 and FIG. 100 demonstrate that the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) impairs ID8 ovarian cancer growth in the ID8 syngeneic murine model. FIG. 101 shows that tumor response to treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) correlates with a significant reduction in immunosuppressive tumor-associated lymphocytes in tumor-bearing mice. FIG. 102 shows treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) impairs ID8 ovarian cancer growth (through reduction in tumor volume) in the syngeneic murine model. FIG. 103 and FIG. 104 show that the tumor response induced by treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) correlates with a significant reduction in immunosuppressive B cells in tumor-bearing mice. FIG. 105 and FIG. 106 show that the tumor response induced by treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) correlates with a significant reduction in immunosuppressive tumor associated Tregs and an increase in CD8⁺ T cells.

The results shown in FIG. 99 to FIG. 106 illustrate the surprising efficacy of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) in modulating tumor microenvironment in a model predictive of efficacy as a treatment for ovarian cancer in humans.

Example 7 Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and Gemcitabine in an Orthotopic Pancreatic Cancer Model and Effects on Solid Tumor Microenvironment

A study was performed to observe potential reduction in tumor burden through modulation of tumor infiltrating MDSCs and TAMs using the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and/or gemcitabine (“Gem”). In this study, KPC derived mouse pancreatic cancer cells (KrasG12D;Trp53R¹⁷²H;Pdx1-Cre) were injected into the pancreases. Animals were treated with (1) vehicle; (2) Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg/BID given orally; (3) gemcitabine 15 mg/kg intravenous (IV) administered every 4 days for 3 injections; or (4) Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg/BID given orally together with gemcitabine, 15 mg/kg IV administered every 4 days for 3 injections.

Single cell suspensions from tumor samples. Mouse tumor tissue was collected and stored in PBS/0.1% soybean trypsin inhibitor prior to enzymatic dissociation. Samples were finely minced with a scissors and mouse tissue was transferred into DMEM containing 1.0 mg/ml collagenase IV (Gibco), 0.1% soybean trypsin inhibitor, and 50 U/ml DNase (Roche) and incubated at 37° C. for 30 min. with constant stirring while human tissue was digested in 2.0 mg/ml collagenase IV, 1.0 mg/ml hyaluronidase, 0.1% soybean trypsin inhibitor, and 50 U/ml DNase for 45 minutes. Suspensions were filtered through a 100 micron filter and washed with FACS buffer (PBS/0.5% BSA/2.0 mM EDTA) prior to staining. Two million total cells were stained with antibodies as indicated. Intracellular detection of FoxP3 was achieved following permeabilization with BD Perm Buffer III (BD Biosciences) and eBioscience Fix/Perm respectively. Following surface staining, samples were acquired on a BD Fortessa and analyzed using FlowJo (Treestar) software.

In FIG. 107, the reduction in tumor size upon treatment is shown. The effects on particular cell subsets are shown in the flow cytometry data presented in FIG. 108, FIG. 109, FIG. 110, and FIG. 111.

The results shown in FIG. 107 to FIG. 111 illustrate reduction in tumor burden by modulating the tumor infiltrating MDSCs and TAMs, which affects Treg and CD8⁺ T cell levels, through inhibition of BTK using Formula (XVIII). A synergistic effect using the combination of Formula (XVIII) and gemcitabine is observed in the tumor volumes shown in FIG. 107, which are reduced well beyond the level observed with either Formula (XVIII) or gemcitabine alone or expected from their additive combination.

Example 8 Effects of BTK Inhibitors on Thrombosis

Clinical studies have shown that targeting the BCR signaling pathway by inhibiting BTK produces significant clinical benefit (Byrd, et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369(1), 32-42, Wang, et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369(6), 507-16). However, in these studies, bleeding has been reported in up to 50% of ibrutinib-treated patients. Most bleeding events were of grade 1-2 (spontaneous bruising or petechiae) but, in 5% of patients, they were of grade 3 or higher after trauma. These results are reflected in the prescribing information for ibrutinib, where bleeding events of any grade, including bruising and petechiae, were reported in about half of patients treated with ibrutinib (IMBRUVICA package insert and prescribing information, revised July 2014, U.S. Food and Drug Administration).

Constitutive or aberrant activation of the BCR signaling cascade has been implicated in the propagation and maintenance of a variety of B cell malignancies. Small molecule inhibitors of BTK, a protein early in this cascade and specifically expressed in B cells, have emerged as a new class of targeted agents. There are several BTK inhibitors, including Formula XXVII (CC-292), and Formula XX-A (PCI-32765, ibrutinib), in clinical development. Importantly, early stage clinical trials have found ibrutinib to be particularly active in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), suggesting that this class of inhibitors may play a significant role in various types of cancers (Aalipour and Advani, Br. J. Haematol. 2013, 163, 436-43). However, their effects are not limited to leukemia or lymphomas as platelets also rely on the Tec kinases family members BTK and Tec for signal transduction in response to various thrombogenic stimuli (Oda, et al., Blood 2000, 95(5), 1663-70; Atkinson, et al., Blood 2003, 102(10), 3592-99). In fact, both Tec and BTK play an important role in the regulation of phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) downstream of the collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) in human platelets. In addition, BTK is activated and undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation upon challenge of the platelet thrombin receptor, which requires the engagement of αIIbβ3 integrin and PI3K activity (Laffargue, et al., FEBS Lett. 1999, 443(1), 66-70). It has also been implicated in GPIbα-dependent thrombus stability at sites of vascular injury (Liu, et al., Blood 2006, 108(8), 2596-603). Thus, BTK and Tec are involved in several processes important in supporting the formation of a stable hemostatic plug, which is critical for preventing significant blood loss in response to vascular injury. Hence, the effects of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib were evaluated on human platelet-mediated thrombosis by utilizing the in vivo human thrombus formation in the VWF HA1 mice model described in Chen, et al., Nat. Biotechnol. 2008, 26(1), 114-19.

Administration of anesthesia, insertion of venous and arterial catheters, fluorescent labeling and administration of human platelets (5×10⁸/ml), and surgical preparation of the cremaster muscle in mice have been previously described (Chen et al., Nat Biotechnol. 2008, 26(1), 114-19). Injury to the vessel wall of arterioles (˜40-65 mm diameter) was performed using a pulsed nitrogen dye laser (440 nm, Photonic Instruments) applied through a 20× water-immersion Olympus objective (LUMPlanF1, 0.5 numerical aperature (NA)) of a Zeiss Axiotech vario microscope. Human platelet and wall interactions were visualized by fluorescence microscopy using a system equipped with a Yokogawa CSU-22 spinning disk confocal scanner, iXON EM camera, and 488 nm and 561 nm laser lines to detect BCECF-labeled and rhodamine-labeled platelets, respectively (Revolution XD, Andor Technology). The extent of thrombus formation was assessed for 2 minutes after injury and the area (μm²) of coverage determined (Image IQ, Andor Technology). For the Formula (XVIII), Formula (XXVII) (CC-292), and Formula (XX-A) (ibrutinib) inhibition studies, the BTK inhibitors were were added to purified human platelets for 30 minutes before administration.

The in vivo throbus effects of the BTK inhibitors, Formula (XVIII), Formula (XXVII) (CC-292), and Formula (XX-A) (ibrutinib), were evaluated on human platelet-mediated thrombosis by utilizing the in vivo human thrombus formation in the VWF HA1 mice model, which has been previously described (Chen, et al., Nat Biotechnol. 2008, 26(1), 114-19). Purified human platelets were preincubated with various concentrations of the BTK inhibitors (0.1 μM, 0.5 μM, or 1 μM) or DMSO and then administered to VWF HA1 mice, followed by laser-induced thrombus formation. The BTK inhibitor-treated human platelets were fluorescently labeled and infused continuously through a catheter inserted into the femoral artery. Their behavior in response to laser-induced vascular injury was monitored in real time using two-channel confocal intravital microscopy (Furie and Furie, J. Clin. Invest. 2005, 115(12), 2255-62). Upon induction of arteriole injury untreated platelets rapidly formed thrombi with an average thrombus size of 6,450±292 mm² (mean±s.e.m.), as shown in FIG. 112 and FIG. 113. Similarly, Formula (XVIII) (1 μM) treated platelets formed a slightly smaller but not significantly different thrombi with an average thrombus size of 5733±393 mm² (mean±s.e.m.). In contrast, a dramatic reduction in thrombus size occurred in platelets pretreated with 1 μM of Formula XX-A (ibrutinib), 2600±246 mm² (mean±s.e.m.), resulting in a reduction in maximal thrombus size by about 61% compared with control (P>0.001) (FIG. 112 and FIG. 114). Similar results were obtained with platelets pretreated with 500 nM of Formula (XVIII) or ibrutinib: thrombus size of 5946±283 mm², and 2710±325 mm² respectively. These initial results may provide some mechanic background and explanation on the reported 44% bleeding related adverse event rates in the Phase III RESONATE study comparing ibrutinib with ofatumumab. The results obtained for Formula XXVII (CC-292) were similar to that for Formula XX-A (ibrutinib), as shown in FIGS. 112, 113, and 114. The effect of the BTK inhibitor concentration is shown in FIG. 115. These results demonstrate the surprising advantage of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), which does not interfere with thrombus formation, while the BTK inhibitors of Formula XXVII (CC-292) and Formula XX-A (ibrutinib) interfere with thrombus formation.

The objective of this study was to evaluate in vivo thrombus formation in the presence of BTK inhibitors. In vivo testing of novel antiplatelet agents requires informative biomarkers. By utilizing a genetic modified mouse von Willebrand factor (VWFR1326H) model that supports human but not mouse platelet-mediated thrombosis, we evaluated the effects of Formula (XVIII), Formula XXVII (CC-292), and Formula XX-A (ibrutinib) on thrombus formation. These results show that Formula (XVIII) had no significant effect on human platelet-mediated thrombus formation while Formula XX-A (ibrutinib) was able to limit this process, resulting in a reduction in maximal thrombus size by 61% compared with control. Formula XXVII (CC-292) showed an effect similar to Formula XX-A (ibrutinib). These results, which show reduced thrombus formation for ibrutinib at physiologically relevant concentrations, may provide some mechanistic background for the Grade ≥3 bleeding events (eg, subdural hematoma, gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria and postprocedural hemorrhage) that have been reported in ≤6% of patients treated with Formula XX-A (ibrutinib).

GPVI platelet aggregation was measured for Formula (XVIII) and Formula XX-A (ibrutinib). Blood was obtained from untreated humans, and platelets were purified from plasma-rich protein by centrifugation. Cells were resuspended to a final concentration of 350,000/μL in buffer containing 145 mmol/L NaCl, 10 mmol/L HEPES, 0.5 mmol/L Na₂HPO₄, 5 mmol/L KCl, 2 mmol/L MgCl₂, 1 mmol/L CaCl₂, and 0.1% glucose, at pH 7.4. Stock solutions of Convulxin (CVX) GPVI were prepared on the day of experimentation and added to platelet suspensions 5 minutes (37° C., 1200 rpm) before the induction of aggregation. Aggregation was assessed with a Chronolog Lumi-Aggregometer (model 540 VS; Chronolog, Havertown, Pa.) and permitted to proceed for 6 minutes after the addition of agonist. The results are reported as maximum percent change in light transmittance from baseline with platelet buffer used as a reference. The results are shown in FIG. 116.

In FIG. 117, the results of CVX-induced (250 ng/mL) human platelet aggregation results before and 15 minutes after administration of the BTK inhibitors to 6 healthy individuals are shown.

The results depicted in FIG. 116 and FIG. 117 indicate that the BTK inhibitor of Formula XX-A (ibrutinib) significantly inhibits GPVI platelet aggregation, while the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) does not, further illustrating the surprising benefits of the latter compound. Furthermore, the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) with a JAK-2 inhibitor, including the JAK-2 inhibitors ruxolitinib and pacritinib, is suprisingly favorable because of the tendency of these JAK-2 inhibitors to cause thrombocytopenia and other disordered associated with increased bleeding.

Example 9 Study of a BTK Inhibitor and a Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and a PI3K Inhibitor in Canine Lymphoma

Canine B cell lymphoma exists as a pathological entity that is characterized by large anaplastic, centroblastic or immunoblastic lymphocytes with high proliferative grade, significant peripheral lymphadenopathy and an aggressive clinical course. While some dogs respond initially to prednisone, most canine lymphomas progress quickly and must be treated with combination therapies, including cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHOP), or other cytotoxic agents. In their histopathologic features, clinical course, and high relapse rate after initial treatment, canine B cell lymphomas resemble diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in humans. Thus, responses of canine B cell lymphomas to experimental treatments are considered to provide proof of concept for therapeutic candidates in DLBCL.

In this example, companion dogs with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory B cell lymphoma were enrolled on a veterinary clinical trial of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) (“Arm 1”) or the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-δ inhibitor of Formula (IX) (“Arm 2”). Enrollment has completed for both arms. The results show that combined treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-δ inhibitor of Formula (IX) may have greater efficacy than treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) alone in aggressive lymphomas.

Twenty-one dogs were treated in Arm 1 with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) at dosages of 2.5 mg/kg once daily to 20 mg/kg twice daily. Intra-subject dose escalation was allowed. Six of the 11 dogs that initiated at 2.5 or 5 mg/kg once daily were escalated and completed the study with dosages of 10 mg/kg twice daily. Among all the dose cohorts, 8 dogs had shrinkage of target lesions >20%; the best tumor responses were between 45-49% reduction in the sum of target lesions in two dogs. Complete responses (“CR”, disappearance of all evidence of disease per evaluator judgment; and absence of new lesions) were not observed in Arm 1. CR were defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease per evaluator judgment, and absence of new lesions. Vali, et al., Vet. Comp. Oncol. 2010, 8, 28-37.

In the combination phase of the study (Arm 2), 10 dogs were treated with 10 mg/kg the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-δ inhibitor of Formula (IX) at 2.5 or 3.5 mg/kg, on a twice daily schedule. Of these, 7 dogs had shrinkage of target lesions >20%, providing evidence of biological activity for the combination; four of these dogs achieved a PR. The best tumor responses were between 58-65% reduction in the sum of target lesions, with one sustained CR observed among the 10 dogs treated. The initial reductions in the sum of target lesions continued to deepen during the course of therapy in 7 of the 10 dogs. A summary of the results is presented in Table 6.

TABLE 6 Summary of the results of the canine lymphoma study. Formula Formula (XVIII) and (XVIII) Response Metric Formula (IX) monotherapy Sum LD^(a) decreased by ≥20% 7/10 (70%) 8/21 (38%) Sum LD^(a) decreased by ≥30% (PR) 4/10 (40%) 6/21 (28.6%) CR by investigator evaluation 1/10 (10%) 0/21 (0%) Median time on study 23 days 24 days Median time to best response 18 days 7 days ^(a)LD, longest diameter, sum of up to 5 target lesions.

These data suggest that in companion dogs with naturally occurring B cell lymphomas, treatment with the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-δ inhibitor of Formula (IX) may provide increased biological activity (tumor shrinkage and stable disease) and may possibly lead to deeper responses than treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) alone. The higher rate of biological responses and extended response duration (median time to best response), along with the observation of a CR in this aggressive disease setting, provide evidence of synergy between Formula (XVIII) and Formula (IX).

Example 10 Study of a Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and a PI3K Inhibitor in DLBCL Cell Lines

To explore the role of PI3K signaling in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (“DLBCL”), several DLBCL cell lines of varying molecular profiles may be utilized. In an exemplary embodiment, a cellular growth inhibition assay used five cell lines, including four GCB (SU-DHL-4, SU-DHL-6, OCI-LY-8 and WSU-DLCL-2) and one ABC (Ri-1) subtype. In an exemplary embodiment, a cellular growth inhibition assay used five cell lines that were OCI-LY-3, OCI-LY-7, Pfeiffer, Toledo and U2932. In an exemplary embodiment, evidence of PI3K pathway inhibition is measured by reduction in phospho (p)-AKT. In an exemplary embodiment, the kinetics of pathway modulation was characterized by examination of phosphorylation of AKT, PRAS40 and S6 following a time-course of treatment by a PI3K-inhibitor in selected cell lines. In one embodiment, upon B-cell receptor stimulation via antibody-induced crosslinking, some cell lines exhibited enhanced AKT phosphorylation.

In an exemplary embodiment, the combination effect of a PI3K inhibitor with a BTK inhibitor was observed in a cellular growth inhibition assay in the SU-DHL-4 cell line and in the OCI-LY-8 cell line with BCR crosslinking

Example 11 BTK Inhibitory Effects on Solid Tumor Microenvironment in the KPC Pancreatic Cancer Model

Given the potential for BTK inhibition to affect TAMs and MDSCs, single-active pharmaceutical ingredient Formula (XVIII) was evaluated in mice with advanced pancreatic cancer arising as the result of genetic modifications of oncogenes KRAS and p53, and the pancreatic differentiation promoter PDX-1 (KPC mice). The KPC mouse model recapitulates many of the molecular, histopathologic, and clinical features of human disease (Westphalen and Olive, Cancer J. 2012, 18, 502-510). Combination therapy with gemcitabine was also evaluated in this model. Mice were enrolled after identification of spontaneously appearing tumors in the pancreas that were >100 mm³ (as assessed by high-resolution ultrasonography). Mice were treated with (1) vehicle (N=6); or (2) Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg BID given orally (N=6).

As shown in FIG. 118, treatment with single-active pharmaceutical ingredient Formula (XVIII) substantially slowed pancreatic cancer growth and increased animal survival. With vehicle, tumor volumes predose averaged 152 mm³, and at day 28 averaged 525 mm³. In the cohort treated with Formula (XVIII), tumor volumes predose averaged 165 mm³, and at day 28 averaged 272 mm³, indicating significant improvement. With vehicle, survival at day 14 was 5/6 animals, and at day 28 was 0/6 animals. With Formula (XVIII), survival at day 14 was 6/6 animals, and at day 28 was 5/6 animals.

Analysis of tumor tissues showed that immunosuppressive TAMs (CD11b⁺Ly6ClowF4/80⁺Csf1r⁺), MDSCs (Gr1⁺Ly6CHi), and Tregs (CD4⁺CD25⁺FoxP3⁺) were significantly reduced with Formula (XVIII) treatment (FIG. 119, FIG. 120, and FIG. 121). As expected, the decrease in these immunosuppressive cell subsets correlated with a significant increase in CD8⁺ cells (FIG. 122).

Example 12 Effects of BTK Inhibitors on Antibody-Dependent NK Cell Mediated Cytotoxicity Using Rituximab

Rituximab-combination chemotherapy is today's standard of care in CD20⁺ B-cell malignancies. Previous studies investigated and determined that ibrutinib antagonizes rituximab antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) mediated by NK cells. This may be due to ibrutinib's secondary irreversible binding to interleukin-2 inducible tyrosine kinase (ITK) which is required for FcR-stimulated NK cell function including calcium mobilization, granule release, and overall ADCC. Kohrt, et al., Blood 2014, 123, 1957-60.

In this example, the effects of Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib on NK cell function were evaluated in cell lines and primary NK cells from healthy volunteers and CLL patients. In summary, the results show that the activation of NK cells co-cultured with antibody-coated target cells was strongly inhibited by ibrutinib. The secretion of IFN-γ was reduced by 48% (p=0.018) and 72% (p=0.002) in cultures treated with ibrutinib at 0.1 and 1.0 μM respectively and NK cell degranulation was significantly (p=0.002) reduced, compared with control cultures. Formula (XVIII) treatment at 1 μM, a clinically relevant concentration, did not inhibit IFN-γ or NK cell degranulation. Rituximab-mediated ADCC was evaluated in NK cells from healthy volunteers as well as assays of NK cells from CLL patients targeting autologous CLL cells. In both cases, ADCC was not inhibited by Formula (XVIII) treatment at 1 μM. In contrast, addition of ibrutinib to the ADCC assays strongly inhibited the rituximab-mediated cytotoxicity of target cells, and no increase over natural cytotoxicity was observed at any rituximab concentration. This result indicates that the combination of rituximab and Formula (XVIII) provides an unexpected benefit in the treatment of B cell malignancies and other diseases where NK cell inhibition is undesirable.

BTK is a non-receptor enzyme in the Tec kinase family that is expressed among cells of hematopoietic origin, including B cells, myeloid cells, mast cells and platelets, where it regulates multiple cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and cell migration. Khan, Immunol Res. 2001, 23, 147-56; Mohamed, et al., Immunol Rev. 2009, 228, 58-73; Bradshaw, Cell Signal. 2010, 22, 1175-84. Functional null mutations of BTK in humans cause the inherited disease, X linked agammaglobulinemia, which is characterized by a lack of mature peripheral B cells. Vihinen, et al., Front Biosci. 2000, 5, D917-28. Conversely, BTK activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of several B-cell malignancies. Herman, et al., Blood 2011, 117, 6287-96; Kil, et al., Am. J. Blood Res. 2013, 3, 71-83; Tai, et al., Blood 2012, 120, 1877-87; Buggy, and Elias, Int. Rev. Immunol. 2012, 31, 119-32 (Erratum in: Int. Rev. Immunol. 2012, 31, 428). In addition, BTK-dependent activation of mast cells and other immunocytes in peritumoral inflammatory stroma has been shown to sustain the complex microenvironment needed for lymphoid and solid tumor maintenance. Soucek, et al., Neoplasia 2011, 13, 1093-100; Ponader, et al., Blood 2012, 119, 1182-89; de Rooij, et al., Blood 2012, 119, 2590-94. Taken together, these findings have suggested that inhibition of BTK may offer an attractive strategy for treating B cell neoplasms, other hematologic malignancies, and solid tumors.

Ibrutinib (PCI-32765, IMBRUVICA), is a first-in-class therapeutic BTK inhibitor. This orally delivered, small-molecule drug is being developed by Pharmacyclics, Inc. for the therapy of B cell malignancies. As described above, in patients with heavily pretreated indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and CLL, ibrutinib showed substantial antitumor activity, inducing durable regressions of lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly in the majority of patients. Advani, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2013, 31, 88-94; Byrd, et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42; Wang, et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 507-16; O'Brien, et al., Blood 2012, 119, 1182-89. The pattern of changes in CLL was notable. Inhibition of BTK with ibrutinib caused rapid and substantial mobilization of malignant CLL cells from tissues sites into the peripheral blood, as described in Woyach, et al., Blood 2014, 123, 1810-17; this effect was consistent with decreased adherence of CLL to protective stromal cells. Ponader, et al., Blood 2012, 119, 1182-89; de Rooij, et al., Blood 2012, 119, 2590-94. Ibrutinib has been generally well tolerated. At dose levels associated with total BTK occupancy, no dose-limiting toxicities were identified and subjects found the drug tolerable over periods extending to >2.5 years.

Given the homology between BTK and interleukin-2 inducible tyrosine kinase (ITK), it has been recently confirmed that ibrutinib irreversibly binds ITK. Dubovsky, et al., Blood 2013, 122, 2539-2549. ITK expression in Fc receptor (FcR)-stimulated NK cells leads to increased calcium mobilization, granule release, and cytotoxicity. Khurana, et al., J. Immunol. 2007, 178, 3575-3582. As rituximab is a backbone of lymphoma therapy, with mechanisms of action including ADCC, as well as direct induction of apoptosis and complement-dependent cytotoxicity, and FcR stimulation is requisite for ADCC, we investigated if ibrutinib or Formula (XVIII) (the latter lacking ITK inhibition) influenced rituximab's anti-lymphoma activity in vitro by assessing NK cell IFN-γ secretion, degranulation by CD107a mobilization, and cytotoxicity by chromium release using CD20⁺ cell lines and autologous patient samples with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Formula (XVIII) is a more selective inhibitor than ibrutinib, as shown previously. Formula (XVIII) is not a potent inhibitor of ITK in contrast to ibrutinib, as shown herein (see, e.g., Table 7). ITK is required for FcR-stimulated NK cell function including calcium mobilization, granule release, and overall ADCC. Anti-CD20 antibodies like rituximab are currently the standard of care for the treatment of many CD20⁺ B cell malignancies, often as part of combination regimens with older chemotherapeutic agents. The potential of ibrutinib or Formula (XVIII) to antagonize ADCC was evaluated in vitro. Previous studies have determined that ibrutinib undesirably antagonizes rituximab ADCC effects mediated by NK cells. Kohrt, et al., Blood 2014, 123, 1957-60. We hypothesized that the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), which does not have activity against ITK, may preserve NK cell function and therefore synergize rather than antagonize rituximab-mediated ADCC. Rituximab-dependent NK-cell mediated cytotoxicity was assessed using lymphoma cell lines as well as autologous CLL tumor cells.

Cell culture conditions were as follows. Cell lines Raji and DHL-4 were maintained in RPMI 1630 supplemented with fetal bovine serum, L-glutamine, 2-mercaptoethanol and penicillin-streptomycin at 37° C. in a humidified incubator. The HER18 cells were maintained in DEM supplemented with fetal bovine serum, penicillin-streptomycin and. Prior to assay, HER18 cells were harvested using trypsin-EDTA, washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 5% serum and viable cells were counted. For culture of primary target cells, peripheral blood from CLL patients was subject to density centrifugation to obtain peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Cell preparations were washed and then subject to positive selection of CD5⁺CD19⁺ CLL cells using magnetic beads (MACS, Miltenyi Biotech). Cell preparations were used fresh after selection. NK cells from CLL patients and healthy volunteers were enriched from peripheral blood collected in sodium citrate anti-coagulant tubes and then subject to density centrifugation. Removal of non NK cells was performed using negative selection by MACS separation. Freshly isolated NK cells were washed three times, enumerated, and then used immediately for ADCC assays.

Cytokine secretion was determined as follows. Rituximab and trastuzumab-dependent NK-cell mediated degranulation and cytokine release were assessed using lymphoma and HER2+ breast cancer cell lines (DHL-4 and HER18, respectively). Target cells were cultured in flat-bottom plates containing 10 μg/mL of rituximab (DHL-4) or trastuzumab (HER18) and test articles (0.1 or 1 μM ibrutinib, 1 μM Formula (XVIII), or DMSO vehicle control). NK cells from healthy donors were enriched as described above and then added to the target cells and incubated for 4 hours at 37° C. Triplicate cultures were performed on NK cells from donors. After incubation, supernatants were harvested, centrifuged briefly, and then analyzed for interferon-γ using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn., USA).

Lytic granule release was determined as follows. NK cells from healthy donors were enriched and cultured in the presence of target cells, monoclonal antibodies and test articles as described above. After 4 hours, the cultures were harvested and cells were pelleted, washed, and then stained for flow cytometry evaluation. Degranulation was evaluated via by flow cytometery by externalization of CD107a, a protein normally present on the inner leaflet of lytic granules, and gating on NK cells (CD3-CD16⁺ lymphocytes). The percentage of CD107a positive NK cells was quantified by comparison with a negative control (isotype control, unstained cells/FMO). Control cultures (NK cells cultured without target cells, or NK, target cell co-cultures in the absence of appropriate monoclonal antibody) were also evaluated; all experiments were performed in triplicate.

ADCC assays were performed as follows. Briefly, target cells (Raji or primary CLL) were labeled by incubation at 37° C. with 100 μCi ⁵¹Cr for 4 hours prior to co-culture with NK cells. Cells were washed, enumerated, and then added in triplicate to prepared 96-well plates containing treated NK cells at an effector:target (E:T) ratio of 25:1. Rituximab (Genentech) was added to ADCC wells at concentrations of 0.1, 1.0 or 10 μg/mL and the assays were briefly mixed and then centrifuged to collect cells at the bottom of the wells. The effect of NK cell natural cytotoxicity was assessed in wells containing no rituximab. Cultures were incubated at 37° C. for 4 hours, and then centrifuged. Supernatants were harvested and ⁵¹Cr release was measured by liquid scintillation counting. All experiments were performed in triplicate.

Ibrutinib inhibited rituximab-induced NK cell cytokine secretion in a dose-dependent manner (0.1 and 1 μM) (FIG. 123: 48% p=0.018; 72% p=0.002, respectively). At 1 μM, Formula (XVIII) did not significantly inhibit cytokine secretion (FIG. 123: 3.5%). Similarly, Formula (XVIII) had no inhibitory effect on rituximab-stimulated NK cell degranulation (<2%) while ibrutinib reduced degranulation by 50% (p=0.24, FIG. 124). Formula (XVIII) had no inhibitory effect while ibrutinib prevented trastuzumab-stimulated NK cell cytokine release and degranulation by 92% and 84% at 1 μM, respectively (FIG. 123 and FIG. 124: ***p=0.004, **p=0.002).

In Raji cell samples, ex vivo NK cell activity against autologous tumor cells was not inhibited by addition of Formula (XVIII) at 1 μM, and increased cell lysis was observed with increasing concentrations of rituximab at a constant E:T ratio (FIG. 125). In primary CLL samples, ex vivo NK cell activity against autologous tumor cells was not inhibited by addition of Formula (XVIII) at 1 μM, and increased cell lysis was observed with increasing concentrations of rituximab at a constant E:T ratio (FIG. 126). In contrast, addition of 1 μM ibrutinib completely inhibited ADCC, with less than 10% cell lysis at any rituximab concentration and no increase in cell lysis in the presence of rituximab, compared with cultures without rituximab. A graph highlighting the significant differences between Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib is shown in FIG. 127 (where “Ab” refers to rituximab). The difference between Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib was highly significant in this assay (p=0.001).

In ADCC assays using healthy donor NK cells, antibody-dependent lysis of rituximab-coated Raji cells was not inhibited by addition of 1 μM of Formula (XVIII) (FIG. 127). In these experiments, addition of rituximab stimulated a 5- to 8-fold increase in cell lysis at 0.1 and 1 μg/mL, compared with low (<20%) natural cytotoxicity in the absence of rituximab. As previously reported, addition of 1 μM ibrutinib strongly inhibited the antibody-dependent lysis of target cells, with less than 20% cell lysis at all rituximab concentrations and no increase in ADCC with at higher rituximab concentrations.

Ibrutinib is clinically effective as monotherapy and in combination with rituximab, despite inhibition of ADCC in vitro and in vivo murine models due to ibrutinib's secondary irreversible binding to ITK. Preclinically, the efficacy of therapeutics which do not inhibit NK cell function, including Formula (XVIII), is superior to ibrutinib. These results provide support for the unexpected property of Formula (XVIII) as a synergistic and superior active pharmaceutical ingredient than ibrutinib to use in combinations with antibodies that have ADCC as a mechanism of action. The improved performance of Formula (XVIII) in combination with anti-CD20 antibody therapies is expected to extend to its use in combination with PI3K inhibitors and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in both hematological malignancies and solid tumors, as these combinations would also benefit from reduced inhibition of NK cell function.

Example 13 Effects of BTK Inhibition on Antibody-Dependent NK Cell Mediated Cytotoxicity Using Obinutuzumab

It has been shown above that ibrutinib undesirably antagonizes rituximab ADCC effects mediated by NK cells, and that Formula (XVIII) does not antagonize rituximab ADCC effects and instead allows for a synergistic combination. As noted previously, this may be due to ibrutinib's secondary irreversible binding to ITK, which is required for FcR-stimulated NK cell function including calcium mobilization, granule release, and overall ADCC. H. E. Kohrt, et al., Blood 2014, 123, 1957-60. The potential for ibrutinib antagonization of obinutuzumab (GA-101) ADCC as mediated by NK cells was also explored and compared to the effects of Formula (XVIII).

The NK cell degranulation/ADCC assay was performed using a whole blood assay with CLL targets added to normal donor whole blood, in the presence or absence of different doses of Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib, followed by opsonization with the anti-CD20 antibody obinutuzumab. Ibrutinib was used as a control, and two blinded samples of BTK inhibitors, Formula (XVIII) and a second sample of ibrutinib, were provided to the investigators. Degranulation in whole blood was performed as follows. CLL targets (MEC-1 cells) were expanded in RPMI 1640 medium (Life Technologies, Inc.) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Exponentially growing cells were used. On the day of the experiment, 8 mL of blood was drawn from a normal volunteer into a test tube containing desirudin to obtain a final concentration of 50 μg/mL. A white blood cell (WBC) count of whole blood was performed. MEC-1 cells were re-suspended at the concentration of WBC in whole blood (e.g., if 6×10⁶ WBC/mL was measured, MEC-1 cells were re-suspended at 6×10⁶ cells/mL, to allow for a final WBC:MEC-1 cell ratio of 1:1). The ibrutinib control and two blinded BTK inhibitors were diluted in X-VIVO 15 serum-free hematopoietic cell medium (Lonza Group, Ltd.) to concentrations of 200 μM, 20 μM and 2 μM. 170 μL aliquots of unmanipulated whole blood were incubated with 10 μL BTK inhibitors or X-VIVO 15 medium for one hour into a plate. Cetuximab and obinutuzumab (GA-101) were diluted in X-VIVO 15 medium to a concentration of 20 μg/mL. Equal volumes of MEC-1 cells and antibodies were incubated for 5 minutes. After incubation, 20 μL of MEC-1 cells and antibodies was added to whole blood and the BTK inhibitors/X-VIVO 15 medium (for a final volume of 200 μL). The samples were placed in a 5% CO₂ incubator for 4 hours at 37° C. The experimental conditions thus achieved a WBC:MEC-1 cell ratio of 1:1, with final concentrations of the BTK inhibitors in the assay of 10 μM, 1 μM and 0.1 μM and final concentrations of the antibodies of 1 μg/mL.

After 4 hours, the samples were mixed gently and 50 μL aliquots were removed from each well and placed in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) test tubes. A 20 μL aliquot of anti-CD56-APC antibody and anti-CD107a-PE antibody was added. The samples were incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature in the dark. An aliquot of 2 mL of FACS lysing solution (BD Biosceinces) was added. The samples were again incubated for 5 minutes, and then centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes. Supernatant was discarded and the cell pellet was resuspended in 500 μL of PBS. The samples were analyzed on the flow cytometer for CD107a⁺ NK cells (CD56⁺).

The NK cell degranulation results are summarized in FIG. 128 for n=3 experiments, which shows the effects on whole blood after pretreatment for 1 hour with the BTK inhibitors at the concentrations shown and subsequent stimulation with MEC-1 opsonised with obinutuzumab or cetuximab at 1 μg/mL for 4 hours. A strong reduction in the percentage of CD56⁺/CD107a⁺ NK cells is observed using ibrutinib (both as a control and blinded BTK inhibitor), which indicates that ibrutinib undesirably antagonizes NK cells. In contrast, Formula (XVIII) shows little antagonism towards NK cells, and had a minimal effect on obinutuzumab-stimulated NK cell degranulation while ibrutinib reduced obinutuzumab-stimulated NK degranulation by greater than 40%. These results support the synergistic combination of obinutuzumab and Formula (XVIII) in treatment of human B cell malignancies.

Example 14 Effects of BTK Inhibition on Generalized NK Cell Mediated Cytotoxicity

An assay was performed to assess the effects of BTK inhibition using Formula (XVIII) on generalized NK killing (non-ADCC killing). The targets (K562 cells) do not express MHC class I, so they do not inactivate NK cells. Target cells were grown to mid-log phase, and 5×10⁵ cells were labeled in 100 μL of assay medium (IMDM with 10% FCS and penicillin/streptomycin) with 100 μCi of ⁵¹Cr for 1 hour at 37° C. Cells were washed twice and resuspended in assay medium. A total of 5000 target cells/well was used in the assay. Effector cells were resuspended in assay medium, distributed on a V-bottom 96-well plate, and mixed with labeled target cells at 40:1 E:T ratios. Maximum release was determined by incubating target cells in 1% Triton X-100. For spontaneous release, targets were incubated without effectors in assay medium alone. After a 1 minute centrifugation at 1000 rpm, plates were incubated for 4 and 16 hours at 37° C. Supernatant was harvested and ⁵¹Cr release was measured in a gamma counter. Percentage of specific release was calculated as (experimental release-spontaneous release)/(maximum release-spontaneous release)×100. The results are shown in FIG. 129.

Example 15 Effects of BTK Inhibition on T Cells

An assay was performed to assess the effects of BTK inhibition using Formula (XVIII) on T cells. Enriched CD4⁺ T cells are plated on 24-well culture dishes that have been precoated 2 hr with 250 μL anti-TCRβ (0.5 μg/mL) plus anti-CD28 (5 μg/mL) at 37° C. in PBS. The cells are then supplemented with media containing BTK inhibitors along with the skewing cytokines as indicated in the following. The Th17 and Treg cultures are grown for 4 days before analysis. The cells are maintained for an additional 3 days with skewing cytokines (Th17; 20 ng/mL IL-6, 0.5 ng/mL TGF-β, 5 μg/mL IL-4, 5 μg/mL IFN-γ and Treg; 0.5 ng/mL TGF-β, 5 μg/mL IL-4, 5 μg/mL IFN-γ) and are supplemented with IL2 as a growth factor.

The results are shown in FIG. 130 and FIG. 131, and further illustrate the surprising properties of Formula (XVIII) in comparison to ibrutinib. Because of the lack of activity of Formula (XVIII) on Itk and Txk, no adverse effects on Th17 and Treg development was observed. Since ibrutinib inhibits both Itk and Txk, a profound inhibition of Th17 cells and an increase in Treg development is observed, which is comparable to the murine Itk/Txk double knock-out cells which were used as a control.

The effects of ibrutinib in comparison to Formula (XVIII) on CD8⁺ T cell viability was also assessed. Total T cells were plated on anti-TCR and anti-CD28 coated wells in the presence of both BTK inhibitors. Neutral culture conditions were used that will not polarize T cells to a helper lineage. The cells are grown for 4 days and are then stained with anti-CD4, anti-CD8 and LIVE/DEAD reagent to determine if the drugs have selective effects on either the CD4⁺ or CD8⁺ cells. Statistical significance was calculated using the Mann Whitney T-test. The results, shown in FIG. 132, indicate that higher concentrations of ibrutinib have a strong, negative effect on CD8⁺ T cell viability that is not observed with Formula (XVIII) at any concentration.

Example 16 Preclinical Characteristics of BTK Inhibitors

The BTK inhibitor ibrutinib 41-[(3R)-3-[4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyrimidin-1-yl]piperidin-1-yl]prop-2-en-1-one) is a first-generation BTK inhibitor. In clinical testing as a monotherapy in subjects with hematologic malignancies, ibrutinib was generally well tolerated at dose levels through 840 mg (the highest dose tested). Advani, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2013, 31, 88-94; Byrd, et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42; Wang, et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 507-16. No maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was apparent within the tested dose range. Furthermore, subjects typically found the drug tolerable over periods extending to >2 years. No subject had tumor lysis syndrome. No overt pattern of myelosuppression was associated with ibrutinib treatment. No drug-related reductions in circulating CD4⁺ T cells or serum immunoglobulins were noted. Adverse events with an apparent relationship to study drug included diarrhea and rash.

In subjects with heavily pretreated non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), ibrutinib showed substantial antitumor activity, inducing durable regressions of lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly in most subjects. Improvements in disease-associated anemia and thrombocytopenia were observed. The pattern of changes in subjects with CLL was notable. Single-active pharmaceutical ingredient ibrutinib caused rapid and substantial reductions in lymph node size concomitant with a redistribution of malignant sites into the peripheral blood. An asymptomatic absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) increase was observed that was maximal during the first few months of treatment and generally decreased thereafter but could be persistent in some subjects or could be seen repeatedly in subjects who had interruption and resumption of drug therapy.

Collectively, these data with ibrutinib support the potential benefits of selective BTK inhibition in the treatment of subjects with relapsed lymphoid cancers. However, while highly potent in inhibiting BTK, ibrutinib has also shown in vitro activity against other kinases with a cysteine in the same position as Cys481 in BTK, to which the drug covalently binds. For example, ibrutinib inhibits epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which may be the cause of ibrutinib-related diarrhea and rash. In addition, it is a substrate for both cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes 3A4/5 and 2D6, which increases the possibility of drug-drug interactions. These liabilities support the development of alternative BTK inhibitors for use in the therapy of lymphoid cancer.

The preclinical selectivity and potency characteristics of the second-generation BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) were compared to the first-generation BTK inhibitor ibrutinib. In Table 7, a kinome screen (performed by Life Technologies or based on literature data) is shown that compares these compounds.

TABLE 7 Kinome Screen for BTK Inhibitors (IC₅₀, nM) 3F-Cys Formula Ibrutinib (Formula Kinase (XVIII) (XX-A)) Btk 3.1 0.5 Tec 29 78 Bmx 39 0.80 Itk >1000 10.7 Txk 291 2.0 EGFR >1000 5.6 ErbB2 912 9.4 ErbB4 13.2 2.7 Blk >1000 0.5 JAK-3 >1000 16.1

The results shown in Table 7 are obtained from a 10 point biochemical assay generated from 10 point concentration curves. The BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) shows much greater selectivity for BTK compared to other kinases than ibrutinib.

A comparison of the in vivo potency results for the BTK inhibitors of Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib is shown in FIG. 133. CD86 and CD69 are cell surface proteins that are BCR activation markers. To obtain the in vivo potency results, mice were gavaged at increasing drug concentration and sacrificed at one time point (3 hours post-dose). BCR was stimulated with IgM and the expression of activation marker CD69 and CD86 are monitored by flow cytometry and to determine EC₅₀ values.

In vitro and in vivo safety pharmacology studies with Formula (XVIII) have demonstrated a favorable nonclinical safety profile. When screened at 10 μM in binding assays evaluating interactions with 80 known pharmacologic targets such as G-protein-coupled receptors, nuclear receptors, proteases, and ion channels, Formula (XVIII) shows significant activity only against the A3 adenosine receptor; follow-up dose-response experiments indicated a IC₅₀ of 2.7 μM, suggesting a low clinical risk of off-target effects. Formula (XVIII) at 10 μM showed no inhibition of in vitro EGFR phosphorylation in an A431 human epidermoid cancer cell line whereas ibrutinib had an IC₅₀ of 66 nM. The in vitro effect of Formula (XVIII) on human ether-à-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel activity was investigated in vitro in human embryonic kidney cells stably transfected with hERG. Formula (XVIII) inhibited hERG channel activity by 25% at 10 μM, suggesting a low clinical risk that Formula (XVIII) would induce clinical QT prolongation as predicted by this assay. Formula (XVIII) was well tolerated in standard in vivo Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) studies of pharmacologic safety. A functional observation battery in rats at doses through 300 mg/kg (the highest dose level) revealed no adverse effects on neurobehavioral effects or body temperature at any dose level. A study of respiratory function in rats also indicated no treatment-related adverse effects at doses through 300 mg/kg (the highest dose level). In a cardiovascular function study in awake telemeterized male beagle dogs, single doses of Formula (XVIII) at dose levels through 30 mg/kg (the highest dose level) induced no meaningful changes in body temperature, cardiovascular, or electrocardiographic (ECG) (including QT interval) parameters. The results suggest that Formula (XVIII) is unlikely to cause serious off-target effects or adverse effects on critical organ systems.

The drug-drug interaction potential of Formula (XVIII) was also evaluated. In vitro experiments evaluating loss of parent drug as catalyzed by CYPs indicated that Formula (XVIII) is metabolized by CYP3A4. In vitro metabolism studies using mouse, rat, dog, rabbit, monkey, and human hepatocytes incubated with ¹⁴C-labeled Formula (XVIII) indicated two mono-oxidized metabolites and a glutathione conjugate. No unique human metabolite was identified. Preliminary evaluations of metabolism in the plasma, bile, and urine of rats, dogs, and monkeys indicated metabolic processes of oxidation, glutathione binding, and hydrolysis. It was shown that Formula (XVIII) binds to glutathione but does not deplete glutathione in vitro. Nonclinical CYP interaction studies data indicate that Formula (XVIII) is very unlikely to cause clinical drug-drug interactions through alteration of the metabolism of drugs that are substrates for CYP enzymes.

The in vitro potency in whole blood of Formula (XVIII), ibrutinib and CC-292 in inhibiting signals through the B cell receptor was also assessed. Blood from four healthy donors was incubated for 2 hours with the compounds shown over a concentration range, and then stimulated with anti-human IgD [10 μg/mL] for 18 hours. The mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of CD69 (and CD86, data not shown) on gated CD19+ B cells was measured by flow cytometry. MFI values were normalized so that 100% represents CD69 level in stimulated cells without inhibitor, while 0% represents the unstimulated/no drug condition. The results are shown in FIG. 134. The EC₅₀ values obtained were 8.2 nM (95% confidence interval: 6.5-10.3), 6.1 nM (95% confidence interval: 5.2-7.2), and 121 nM (95% confidence interval: 94-155) for Formula (XVIII), ibrutinib, and CC-292, respectively.

The EGF receptor phosphorylation in vitro was also determined for Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib. Epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells were incubated for 2 h with a dose titration of Formula (XVIII) or ibrutinib, before stimulation with EGF (100 ng/mL) for 5 min to induce EGFR phosphorylation (p-EGFR). Cells were fixed with 1.6% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 90% MeOH. Phosphoflow cytometry was performed with p-EGFR (Y1069). MFI values were normalized so that 100% represents the p-EGFR level in stimulated cells without inhibitor, while 0% represents the unstimulated/no drug condition. The results are shown in FIG. 135. EGF-induced p-EGFR inhibition was determined to be 7% at 10 μM for Formula (XVIII), while ibrutinib has an EC₅₀ of 66 nM. The much more potent inhibition of EGF-induced p-EGFR by ibrutinib may be associated with increased side effects including diarrhea and rash.

Example 17 Clinical Study of a BTK Inhibitor in Leukemia/Lymphoma and Effects on Bone Marrow and Lymphoid Microenvironments

Clinical studies have shown that targeting the BCR signaling pathway by inhibiting BTK produces significant clinical benefit in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The second generation BTK inhibitor, Formula (XVIII), achieves significant oral bioavailability and potency, and has favorable preclinical characteristics, as described above. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the second generation BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) in treating subjects with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

The design and conduct of this study is supported by an understanding of the history and current therapies for subjects with lymphoid cancers; knowledge of the activity and safety of a first-generation BTK inhibitor, ibrutinib, in subjects with hematologic cancers; and the available nonclinical information regarding Formula (XVIII). The collective data support the following conclusions. BTK expression plays an important role in the biology of lymphoid neoplasms, which represent serious and life-threatening disorders with continuing unmet medical need. Clinical evaluation of Formula (XVIII) as a potential treatment for these disorders has sound scientific rationale based on observations that the compound selectively abrogates BTK activity and shows activity in nonclinical models of lymphoid cancers. These data are supported by clinical documentation that ibrutinib, a first-generation BTK inhibitor, is clinically active in these diseases. Ibrutinib clinical data and Formula (XVIII) nonclinical safety pharmacology and toxicology studies support the safety of testing Formula (XVIII) in subjects with B cell malignancies.

The primary objectives of the clinical study are as follows: (1) establish the safety and the MTD of orally administered Formula (XVIII) in subjects with CLL/SLL; (2) determine pharmacokinetics (PK) of orally administered Formula (XVIII) and identification of its major metabolite(s); and (3) measure pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters including drug occupancy of BTK, the target enzyme, and effect on biologic markers of B cell function.

The secondary objective of the clinical study is to evaluate tumor responses in patients treated with Formula (XVIII).

This study is a multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized, sequential group, dose escalation study. The following dose cohorts will be evaluated:

Cohort 1: 100 mg/day for 28 days (=1 cycle)

Cohort 2: 175 mg/day for 28 days (=1 cycle)

Cohort 3: 250 mg/day for 28 days (=1 cycle)

Cohort 4: 350 mg/day for 28 days (=1 cycle)

Cohort 5: 450 mg/day for 28 days (=1 cycle)

Cohort 6: To be determined amount in mg/day for 28 days (=1 cycle)

Each cohort will be enrolled sequentially with 6 subjects per cohort. If ≤1 dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed in the cohort during Cycle 1, escalation to the next cohort will proceed. Subjects may be enrolled in the next cohort if 4 of the 6 subjects enrolled in the cohort completed Cycle 1 without experiencing a DLT, while the remaining 2 subjects are completing evaluation. If ≥2 DLTs are observed during Cycle 1, dosing at that dose and higher will be suspended and the MTD will be established as the previous cohort. The MTD is defined as the largest daily dose for which fewer than 33% of the subjects experience a DLT during Cycle 1. Dose escalation will end when either the MTD is achieved or at 3 dose levels above full BTK occupancy, whichever occurs first. Full BTK occupancy is defined as Formula (XVIII) active-site occupancy of >80% (average of all subjects in cohort) at 24 hours postdose. Should escalation to Cohort 6 be necessary, the dose will be determined based on the aggregate data from Cohorts 1 to 5, which includes safety, efficacy, and PK/PD results. The dose for Cohort 6 will not exceed 900 mg/day.

Treatment with Formula (XVIII) may be continued for >28 days until disease progression or an unacceptable drug-related toxicity occurs. Subjects with disease progression will be removed from the study. All subjects who discontinue study drug will have a safety follow-up visit 30 (±7) days after the last dose of study drug unless they have started another cancer therapy within that timeframe. Radiologic tumor assessment will be done at screening and at the end of Cycle 2, Cycle 4, and Cycle 12 and at investigator discretion. Confirmation of complete response (CR) will require bone marrow analysis and radiologic tumor assessment. For subjects who remain on study for >11 months, a mandatory bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is required in Cycle 12 concurrent with the radiologic tumor assessment.

All subjects will have standard hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis safety panels done at screening. This study also includes pancreatic function assessment (serum amylase and serum lipase) due to the pancreatic findings in the 28-day GLP rat toxicity study. Once dosing commences, all subjects will be evaluated for safety once weekly for the first 4 weeks, every other week for Cycle 2, and monthly thereafter. Blood samples will be collected during the first week of treatment for PK/PD assessments. ECGs will be done at screening, and on Day 1-2, 8, 15, 22, 28 of Cycle 1, Day 15 and 28 of Cycle 2, and monthly thereafter through Cycle 6. ECGs are done in triplicate for screening only. Thereafter, single ECG tests are done unless a repeat ECG testing is required.

Dose-limiting toxicity is defined as any of the following events (if not related to disease progression): (1) any Grade ≥3 non-hematologic toxicity (except alopecia) persisting despite receipt of a single course of standard outpatient symptomatic therapy (e.g., Grade 3 diarrhea that responds to a single, therapeutic dose of Imodium® would not be considered a DLT); (2) grade ≥3 prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc), as determined by a central ECG laboratory overread; (3) grade 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC]<500/μL) lasting >7 days after discontinuation of therapy without growth factors or lasting >5 days after discontinuation of therapy while on growth factors (i.e., Grade 4 neutropenia not lasting as long as specified will not be considered a DLT), (4) grade 4 thrombocytopenia (platelet count <20,000/μL) lasting >7 days after discontinuation of therapy or requiring transfusion (i.e., Grade 4 thrombocytopenia not lasting as long as specified will not be considered a DLT), and (5) dosing delay due to toxicity for >7 consecutive days.

The efficacy parameters for the study include overall response rate, duration of response, and progression-free survival (PFS). The safety parameters for the study include DLTs and MTD, frequency, severity, and attribution of adverse events (AEs) based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.03) for non-hematologic AEs. Hallek, et al., Blood 2008, 111, 5446-5456.

The schedule of assessments is as follows, with all days stated in the following meaning the given day or +/−2 days from the given day. A physical examination, including vital signs and weight, are performed at screening, during cycle 1 at 1, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days, during cycle 2 at 15 and 28 days, during cycles 3 to 24 at 28 days, and at follow up (after the last dose). The screening physical examination includes, at a minimum, the general appearance of the subject, height (screening only) and weight, and examination of the skin, eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, heart, abdomen, extremities, musculoskeletal system, lymphatic system, and nervous system. Symptom-directed physical exams are done thereafter. Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and temperature) are assessed after the subject has rested in the sitting position. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status is assessed at screening, during cycle 1 at 1, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days, during cycle 2 at 15 and 28 days, during cycles 3 to 24 at 28 days, and at follow up, using the published ECOG performance status indications described in Oken, et al., Am. J. Clin. Oncol. 1982, 5, 649-655. ECG testing is performed at screening, during cycle 1 at 1, 2, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days, during cycle 2 at 15 and 28 days, during cycles 3 to 24 at 28 days, and at follow up. The 12-lead ECG test will be done in triplicate (≥1 minute apart) at screening. The calculated QTc average of the 3 ECGs must be <480 ms for eligibility. On cycle 1, day 1 and cycle 1, day 8, single ECGs are done predose and at 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours postdose. The single ECG on Cycle 1 Day 2 is done predose. On cycle 1, day 15, day 22, and day 28, a single ECG is done 2 hours post-dose. Starting with cycle 2, a single ECG is done per visit. Subjects should be in supine position and resting for at least 10 minutes before study-related ECGs. Two consecutive machine-read QTc>500 ms or >60 ms above baseline require central ECG review. Hematology, including complete blood count with differential and platelet and reticulocyte counts, is assessed at screening, during cycle 1 at 1, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days, during cycle 2 at 15 and 28 days, during cycles 3 to 24 at 28 days, and at follow up. Serum chemistry is assessed at screening, during cycle 1 at 1, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days, during cycle 2 at 15 and 28 days, during cycles 3 to 24 at 28 days, and at follow up. Serum chemistry includes albumin, alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST, bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), magnesium, phosphate, potassium, sodium, total bilirubin, total protein, and uric acid. Cell counts and serum immunoglobulin are performed at screening, at cycle 2, day 28, and at every 6 months thereafter until last dose and include T/B/NK/monocyte cell counts (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD19, CD19, CD16/56, and others as needed) and serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, IgA, and total immunoglobulin). Bone marrow aspirates are performed at cycle 12. Pharmacodynamics samples are drawn during cycle 1 at 1, 2, and 8 days, and at follow up. On days 1 and 8, pharmacodynamic samples are drawn pre-dose and 4 hours (±10 minutes) post-dose, and on day 2, pharmacodynamic samples are drawn pre-dose. Pharmacokinetics samples are drawn during cycle 1 at 1, 2, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days. Pharmacokinetic samples for Cycle 1 Day 1 are drawn pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours (before dose on Day 2) post-dose. Samples for Cycle 1 Day 8 are drawn pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours post-dose. On Cycle 1 Day 15, 22, and 28, a PK sample is drawn pre-dose and the second PK sample must be drawn before (up to 10 minutes before) the ECG acquisition, which is 2 hours postdose. Pretreatment radiologic tumor assessments are performed within 30 days before the first dose. A computed tomography (CT) scan (with contrast unless contraindicated) is required of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. In addition, a positron emission tomography (PET) or PET/CT must done for subjects with SLL. Radiologic tumor assessments are mandatory at the end of Cycle 2 (−7 days), Cycle 4 (−7 days), and Cycle 12 (−7 days). Otherwise, radiologic tumor assessments are done at investigator discretion. A CT (with contrast unless contraindicated) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis is required for subjects with CLL. In addition, a PET/CT is required in subjects with SLL. Bone marrow and radiologic assessments are both required for confirmation of a complete response (CR). Clinical assessments of tumor response should be done at the end of Cycle 6 and every 3 months thereafter. Molecular markers are measured at screening, and include interphase cytogenetics, stimulated karyotype, IgHV mutational status, Zap-70 methylation, and beta-2 microglobulin levels. Urinalysis is performed at screening, and includes pH, ketones, specific gravity, bilirubin, protein, blood, and glucose. Other assessments, including informed consent, eligibility, medical history, and pregnancy test are done at the time of screening.

The investigator rates the subject's response to treatment based on recent guidelines for CLL, as given in Hallek, et al., Blood 2008, 111, 5446-56, and for SLL, as given in Cheson, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2007, 25, 579-586. The response assessment criteria for CLL are summarized in Table 8.

The PK parameters of the study are as follows. The plasma PK of Formula (XVIII) and a metabolite is characterized using noncompartmental analysis. The following PK parameters are calculated, whenever possible, from plasma concentrations of Formula (XVIII):

-   -   AUC_((0-t)): Area under the plasma concentration-time curve         calculated using linear trapezoidal summation from time 0 to         time t, where t is the time of the last measurable concentration         (Ct),     -   AUC₍₀₋₂₄₎: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0         to 24 hours, calculated using linear trapezoidal summation,     -   AUC_((0-∞)): Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from         0 to infinity, calculated using the formula:         AUC_((0-∞))=AUC_((0-t))+Ct/λz, where λz is the apparent terminal         elimination rate constant,     -   C_(max): Maximum observed plasma concentration,     -   T_(max): Time of the maximum plasma concentration (obtained         without interpolation),     -   t_(1/2): Terminal elimination half-life (whenever possible),     -   λ₂: Terminal elimination rate constant (whenever possible),     -   Cl/F: Oral clearance.

The PD parameters of the study are as follows. The occupancy of BTK by Formula (XVIII) are measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with the aid of a biotin-tagged Formula (XVIII) analogue probe. The effect of Formula (XVIII) on biologic markers of B cell function will also be evaluated.

The statistical analysis used in the study is as follows. No formal statistical tests of hypotheses are performed. Descriptive statistics (including means, standard deviations, and medians for continuous variables and proportions for discrete variables) are used to summarize data as appropriate.

The following definitions are used for the safety and efficacy analysis sets: Safety analysis set: All enrolled subjects who receive ≥1 dose of study drug; Per-protocol (PP) analysis set: All enrolled subjects who receive ≥1 dose of study drug and with ≥1 tumor response assessment after treatment. The safety analysis set will be used for evaluating the safety parameters in this study. The PP analysis sets will be analyzed for efficacy parameters in this study.

No imputation of values for missing data is performed except for missing or partial start and end dates for adverse events and concomitant medication will be imputed according to prespecified, conservative imputation rules. Subjects lost to follow-up (or drop out) will be included in statistical analyses to the point of their last evaluation.

The safety endpoint analysis was performed as follows. Safety summaries will include summaries in the form of tables and listings. The frequency (number and percentage) of treatment emergent adverse events will be reported in each treatment group by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) System Organ Class and Preferred Term. Summaries will also be presented by the severity of the adverse event and by relationship to study drug. Laboratory shift tables containing counts and percentages will be prepared by treatment assignment, laboratory parameter, and time. Summary tables will be prepared for each laboratory parameter. Figures of changes in laboratory parameters over time will be generated. Vital signs, ECGs, and physical exams will be tabulated and summarized.

Additional analyses include summaries of subject demographics, baseline characteristics, compliance, and concurrent treatments. Concomitant medications will be coded according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Drug Dictionary and tabulated.

The analysis of efficacy parameters was performed as follows. The point estimate of the overall response rate will be calculated for the PP analysis set. The corresponding 95% confidence interval also will be derived. The duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started). Kaplan-Meier methodology will be used to estimate event-free curves and corresponding quantiles (including the median). Progression-free survival is measured from the time of first study drug administration until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started). Kaplan-Meier methodology will be used to estimate the event-free curves and corresponding quantiles (including the median).

The study scheme is a sequential cohort escalation. Each cohort consists of six subjects. The sample size of the study is 24 to 36 subjects, depending on dose escalation into subsequent cohorts. Cohort 1 (N=6) consists of Formula (XVIII), 100 mg QD for 28 days. Cohort 2 (N=6) consists of Formula (XVIII), 175 mg QD for 28 days. Cohort 3 (N=6) consists of Formula (XVIII), 250 mg QD for 28 days. Cohort 4 (N=6) consists of Formula (XVIII), 350 mg QD for 28 days. Cohort 5 (N=6) consists of Formula (XVIII), 450 mg QD for 28 days. Cohort 6 (N=6) consists of Formula (XVIII), at a dose to be determined QD for 28 days. The dose level for Cohort 6 will be determined based on the safety and efficacy of Cohorts 1 to 5, and will not exceed 900 mg/day. Escalation will end with either the MTD cohort or three levels above full BTK occupancy, whichever is observed first. An additional arm of the study will explore 100 mg BID dosing. Treatment with oral Formula (XVIII) may be continued for greater than 28 days until disease progression or an unacceptable drug-related toxicity occurs.

The inclusion criteria for the study are as follows: (1) men and women ≥18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of CLL/SLL, which has relapsed after, or been refractory to, ≥2 previous treatments for CLL/SLL; however, subjects with 17p deletion are eligible if they have relapsed after, or been refractory to, 1 prior treatment for CLL/SLL; (2) body weight ≥60 kg, (3) ECOG performance status of ≤2; (4) agreement to use contraception during the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug if sexually active and able to bear children; (5) willing and able to participate in all required evaluations and procedures in this study protocol including swallowing capsules without difficulty; or (6) ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use protected health information (in accordance with national and local subject privacy regulations).

The dosage form and strength of Formula (XVIII) used in the clinical study is a hard gelatin capsules prepared using standard pharmaceutical grade excipients (microcrystalline cellulose) and containing 25 mg of Formula (XVIII) each. The color of the capsules is Swedish orange. The route of administration is oral (per os, or PO). The dose regimen is once daily or twice daily, as defined by the cohort, on an empty stomach (defined as no food 2 hours before and 30 minutes after dosing).

The baseline characteristics for the patients enrolled in the clinical study are given in Table 10.

FIG. 134 shows the median % change in ALC and SPD from baseline in the clinical study of Formula (XVIII), plotted in comparison to the results reported for ibrutinib in FIG. 1A of Byrd, et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42. The results show that Formula (XVIII) leads to a more rapid patient response in CLL than corresponding treatment with ibrutinib. This effect is illustrated, for example, by the median % change in SPD, which achieved the same status in the present study at 7 months of treatment with Formula (XVIII) as compared to 18 months for ibrutinib. The % change in SPD observed in the different cohorts (i.e. by dose and dosing regimen) is shown in FIG. 135, and in all cases shows significant responses.

A Kaplan-Meier curve showing PFS from the clinical CLL study of Formula (XVIII) is shown in FIG. 136. A comparison of survival curves was performed using the Log-Rank (Mantle-Cox) test, with a p-value of 0.0206 indicating that the survival curves are different. The number of patients at risk is shown in FIG. 137. Both FIG. 136 and FIG. 137 show the results for Formula (XVIII) in comparison to the results reported for ibrutinib in Byrd, et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42. An improvement in survival and a reduction in risk are observed in CLL patients treated with Formula (XVIII) in comparison to patients treated with ibrutinib.

Based on the data and comparisons shown in FIG. 134 to FIG. 137, the CLL study with Formula (XVIII) showed that the efficacy of Formula (XVIII) was surprisingly superior to that of ibrutinib.

In the literature study of ibrutinib, increased disease progression was associated with patients with high-risk cytogenetic lesions (17p13.1 deletion or 11q22.3 deletion), as shown in FIG. 3A in Byrd, et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42, which shows ibrutinib PFS including PFS broken down by genetic abnormality. The 17p and 11q deletions are validated high-risk characteristics of CLL, and the 17p deletion is the highest risk. In FIG. 138, the PFS is shown for Formula (XVIII) in patients with the 17p deletion in comparison to the results obtained for ibrutinib in Byrd, et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42. A p-value of 0.0696 was obtained. In FIG. 139, the number of patients at risk with the 17p deletion is compared. To date, no 17p patients have progressed on Formula (XVIII).

The adverse events observed in the clinical study in relapsed/refractory CLL are given in Table 12. No DLTs were observed. The MTD was not reached. No treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) were observed. No prophylactic antivirals or antibiotics were needed.

TABLE 12 Treatment-related adverse events reported in the clinical study of Formula (XVIII) in relapsed/ refractory CLL. (Reported in ≥5% of patients.) Adverse Events (Treatment- All Related), n (%) Grade (N = 44) Headache ½ 7 (16) Increased tendency 1 6 (14) to bruise Diarrhea 1 4 (9) Petechiae 1 3 (7)

The clinical study of Formula (XVIII) thus showed other unexpectedly superior results compared to ibrutinib therapy. A lack of lymphocytosis was observed in the study. Furthermore, only grade 1 AEs were observed, and these AEs were attributable to the high BTK selectivity of Formula (XVIII).

BTK target occupancy was measured for relapsed/refractory CLL patients with the results shown in FIG. 140. For 200 mg QD dosing of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), about 94%-99% BTK occupancy was observed, with superior 24 hour coverage and less inter-patient variability also observed. For 420 mg and 840 mg QD of the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, 80%-90% BTK occupancy was observed, with more inter-patient variability and capped occupancy. These results indicate that the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) achieves superior BTK occupancy in CLL patients than ibrutinib.

The effects of Formula (XVIII) on cell subset percentages were also evaluated using flow cytometry analysis of peripheral blood, with the results shown in FIG. 141, FIG. 142, FIG. 143, FIG. 144, FIG. 145, and FIG. 146. PBMC samples from CLL patient samples drawn prior to (predose) and after 28 days of dosing with Formula (XVIII) were compared for potential changes in cell subsets. PBMCs were stained with monoclonal antibodies conjugated to fluorescent tags (flourochromes) to identify cell subsets via flow cytometry. Non-viable cells were excluded from the analysis using the dye 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD). To produce the metric of percent change, the following steps were taken. First, each cell subset was defined by hierarchical flow cytometry gating. Then, the change in frequency (between day 1 and day 28) was calculated for each cell subset. MDSC subsets were measured as a % of all myeloid cells. T cell subsets were measured as a % of all CD3⁺ cells, and NK cells were measured as a % of all live CD45⁺ cells. In FIG. 141 and FIG. 142, the results show the % change in MDSC (monocytic) level over 28 days versus % ALC change at cycle 1 day 28 (C1D28) and at cycle 2 day 28 (C2D28). A cycle is 28 days. A trend is observed wherein patients with decreasing ALC % had increasing MDSC (monocytic) %. This may include patients who had quickly resolving lymphocytosis and those with no initial lymphocytosis. This provides evidence that treatment with Formula (XVIII) mobilizes MDSCs and thus affects the CLL tumor microenvironment in marrow and lymph nodes, which is an unexpected indication of superior efficacy. In FIG. 143 and FIG. 144, the results show the % change in NK cell level over 28 days versus % ALC change, measured at C1D28 or C2D28, and similar trends are observed wherein patients with decreasing ALC % had increasing NK cell %. This may include patients who had quickly resolving lymphocytosis and those having no initial lymphocytosis. The effects in FIG. 141 to FIG. 144 are observed in multiple cohorts, at doses including 100 mg BID, 200 mg QD, and 400 mg QD. In FIG. 145 and FIG. 146, the effects on NK cells and MDSC cells are compared to a number of other markers versus % change in ALC at C1D28 and C2D28. These other markers include CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio, NK-T cells, PD-1+ CD4+ T cells, and PD-1+ CD8+ T cells. The effects on NK cells and MDSC cells are observed to be much more pronounced than on any of these other markers.

These results suggest that after Formula (XVIII) administration, the CLL microenvironment undergoes a change wherein NK cells and monocytic MDSC subsets increase in frequency in the peripheral blood in patients with falling ALC counts, an important clinical parameter in CLL. The NK cell increase may reflect an overall increase in cytolytic activity against B-CLL resulting in the ALC % to drop. The increase in MDSC % in the blood may be due to a movement of these cells out of the lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow, which are all possible sites of CLL proliferation. Fewer MDSCs at the CLL proliferation centers would likely result in a reduced immunosuppressive microenvironment leading to an increase in cell-mediated immunity against the tumor, decreased tumor proliferation, and eventually lower ALC % in the circulation.

Updated clinical results from the CLL study are shown in FIG. 149 to FIG. 154. FIG. 149 shows an update of the data presented in FIG. 136. FIG. 150 shows an update of the data presented in FIG. 142, and includes BID dosing results. Formula (XVIII) 200 mg QD dosing resulted in 94%-99% BTK occupancy, 24 hour coverage, and less inter-patient variability. Ibrutinib 420 mg and 840 mg QD dosing resulted in 80%-90% BTK occupancy, more inter-patient variability, and capped occupancy. Formula (XVIII) 100 mg BID dosing resulted in 97%-99% BTK occupancy, complete BTK coverage, and less inter-patient variability. The PFS for patients with 11p deletions and 17q deletions are illustrated in FIG. 151, FIG. 152, and FIG. 153. Updated SPD results are illustrated in FIG. 154.

Treatment of CLL patients with Formula (XVIII) also resulted in increased apoptotis, as illustrated in FIG. 155. Apoptotic B-CLL was defined by flow cytometry as having cleaved PARP⁺, Caspase 3⁺, CD19⁺, and CD5⁺ phenotypes. 82% of samples tested had a baseline change greater than 25%. Treatment of CLL patients also showed that Formula (XVIII) decreased plasma chemokines associated with MDSC homing and retention. A significant decrease in CXCL12 and CCL2 levels has been observed in patients treated with Formula (XVIII), as shown in FIG. 156 and FIG. 157, respectively.

Overall, Formula (XVIII) shows superior efficacy to first generation BTK inhibitors such as ibrutinib, or to monotherapy with PI3K-δ inhibitors such as idelalisib. Formula (XVIII) has better target occupancy and better pharmacokinetic and metabolic parameters than ibrutinib, leading to improved B cell apoptosis. Furthermore, unlike treatment with ibrutinib and PI3K-δ inhibitors, treatment with Formula (XVIII) does not affect NK cell function. Finally, treatment with Formula (XVIII) leads to a CLL tumor microenvironmental effect by excluding MDSC cells from the marrow and lymph nodes and reducing their number.

Example 18 Clinical Study of a BTK Inhibitor in Leukemia/Lymphoma in Combination with Obinutuzumab (GA-101)

The primary objectives of the study are (1) to determine the overall response rate (ORR) at 12 months with the combination of Formula (XVIII) and obinutuzumab in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL, (2) to determine the ORR at 12 months with the combination of Formula (XVIII) and obinutuzumab in patients with treatment-naive CLL, and (3) to establish the safety and feasibility of the combination of Formula (XVIII) and obinutuzumab.

The secondary objectives of this study are: (1) to determine the complete response (CR) rate and MRD-negative CR rate in previously untreated and relapsed and refractory CLL with this regimen; (2) to determine the progression-free survival (PFS), time to next treatment (TTNT), and overall survival (OS) with this regimen, (3) to perform baseline analysis of patients enrolled on this trial including fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), stimulated karyotype, Zap-70 methylation, and IgV_(H) mutational status and describe relationships between these biomarkers and ORR or PFS for patients treated with this regimen; (4) to determine pharmacokinetics (PK) of orally administered Formula (XVIII); (5) to measure pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters including drug occupancy of BTK, change in miR and gene expression on day 8 and 29 of therapy of Formula (XVIII); (6) to determine the influence of Formula (XVIII) on NK cell and T cell function in vivo; (7) to assess for serial development of resistance by baseline and longitudinal assessment of mutations of BTK and PLCG2 at regular follow up intervals and by examining diagnosis to relapse samples by whole exome sequencing; (8) to determine the influence of Formula (XVIII) on emotional distress and quality of life in CLL patients; and (9) to determine trajectory of psychological and behavioral responses to Formula (XVIII) and covariation with response to therapy.

CLL is the most prevalent form of adult leukemia and has a variable clinical course, where many patients do not require treatment for years and have survival equal to age matched controls. Other patients, however, exhibit aggressive disease and have a poor prognosis despite appropriate therapy. Byrd, et al., Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Hematology Am. Soc. Hematol. Educ. Program. 2004, 163-183. While patients with early disease have not been shown to have a survival advantage with early treatment, most patients will eventually require therapy for their disease with the onset of symptoms or cytopenias, and despite the relatively long life expectancy for early stage disease, CLL remains an incurable disease. Patients diagnosed with or progressing to advanced disease have a mean survival of 18 months to 3 years. Unfortunately these patients with advanced disease are also more refractory to conventional therapy.

The treatment of CLL has progressed significantly over the previous decades. While alkylator therapy was used in the past, randomized trials have demonstrated a higher response rate and longer progression free survival (PFS) with fludarabine and subsequently with fludarabine- and cyclophosphamide-based combinations. O'Brien, et al., Advances in the biology and treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Blood 1995, 85, 307-18; Rai, et al., Fludarabine compared with chlorambucil as primary therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. N. Engl. J. Med. 2000, 343, 1750-57; Johnson, et al., Multicentre prospective randomised trial of fludarabine versus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CAP) for treatment of advanced-stage chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. The French Cooperative Group on CLL. Lancet 1996, 347, 1432-38; Leporrier, et al., Randomized comparison of fludarabine, CAP, and ChOP in 938 previously untreated stage B and C chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. Blood 2001, 98, 2319-25; Catovsky, et al., Assessment of fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (the LRF CLL4 Trial): A randomised controlled trial. Lancet 2007, 370, 230-239; Eichhorst, et al., Fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide versus fludarabine alone in first-line therapy of younger patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Blood 2006, 107, 885-91. At the same time, the chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab was introduced for the treatment of CLL. At high doses or with dose intensive treatment, single agent rituximab has shown efficacy; however complete responses and extended remissions are very rare. O'Brien, et al. Rituximab dose-escalation trial in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. J. Clin. Oncol. 2001, 19, 2165-70; Byrd, et al., Rituximab using a thrice weekly dosing schedule in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma demonstrates clinical activity and acceptable toxicity. Clin. Oncol. 2001, 19, 2153-64. The efficacy of rituximab has been improved by combining it with traditional cytotoxic agents such as fludarabine or fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, which have produced high CR rates and extended progression free survival (PFS) compared to historical controls. Indeed, a large randomized clinical trial reported by the German CLL study group has shown a benefit of the addition of antibody therapy with rituximab to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in the prolongation of PFS and OS in patients with untreated CLL. Hallek, et al., Addition of rituximab to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia: a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial. Lancet 2010, 376, 1164-74. This encouraging progress in therapy and our understanding of the disease has resulted in significantly improved response rates and PFS. However, significant improvements in overall survival (OS) and ultimately cure, remain elusive goals.

While fludarabine based chemoimmunotherapy is standard for younger patients, the therapy for older patients is less well defined. In the large Phase 2 and 3 trials outlined previously, median ages were typically in the early-60s, while the average age of patients diagnosed with CLL is 72, which calls into question whether these results are generalizable to the entire CLL population. In fact, the one randomized Phase 3 trial investigating primary CLL therapy in older patients demonstrated that in patients >65 years old, fludarabine is not superior to chlorambucil. Eichhorst, et al., First-line therapy with fludarabine compared with chlorambucil does not result in a major benefit for elderly patients with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Blood 2009, 114, 3382-91. This finding was corroborated by a large retrospective study of front-line trials performed by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, which demonstrated again that fludarabine is not superior to chlorambucil in older patients, but also showed that the addition of rituximab to chemotherapy was beneficial regardless of age. Woyach, et al., Impact of age on outcomes after initial therapy with chemotherapy and different chemoimmunotherapy regimens in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: Results of sequential cancer and leukemia group B studies. J. Clin. Oncol. 2013, 31, 440-7. Two studies have evaluated the combination of rituximab with chlorambucil, showing that this combination is safe and moderately effective. Hillmen, et al., rituximab plus chlorambucil in patients with CD20-positive B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): Final response analysis of an open-label Phase II Study, ASH Annual Meeting Abstracts, Blood 2010, 116, 697; Foa, et al., A Phase II study of chlorambucil plus rituximab followed by maintenance versus observation in elderly patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia: Results of the first interim analysis, ASH Annual Meeting Abstracts, Blood 2010, 116, 2462.

Recently, the type II glycoengineered CD20 monoclonal antibody obinutuzumab was introduced. In a Phase 1 trial of previously treated CLL as monotherapy, this antibody has a 62% response rate including 1 MRD-negative complete response, suggesting that alone this antibody may be more active in CLL than rituximab. Morschhauser, et al., Phase I study of R⁰⁵⁰⁷²⁷⁵⁹ (GA101) in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, ASH Annual Meeting Abstracts. Blood, 2009, 114, 884. The German CLL Study Group (GCLLSG) recently completed a Phase 3 trial of rituximab and chlorambucil or obinutuzumab and chlorambucil vs chlorambucil alone in patients with untreated CLL and significant comorbidities. In this population, obinutuzumab and chlorambucil (but not rituximab and chlorambucil) improved OS over chlorambucil alone (hazard ratio 0.41, p=0.002), and obinutuzumab and chlorambucil improved PFS over rituximab and chlorambucil (median PFS 26.7 months vs 14.9 months, p<0.001). Goede, et al., Obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil in patients with CLL and coexisting conditions, N. Engl. J. Med. 2014, 370, 1101-10. On the basis of these favorable data, the combination of obinutuzumab and chlorambucil is FDA approved as frontline therapy for CLL patients.

Many older patients are also treated with the combination of bendamustine plus rituximab (BR). Although BR has not been compared directly with chlorambucil and rituximab, results of a recent Phase 2 trial show an ORR of 88% with a median event free survival of 33.9 months and 90.5% OS at 27 months. Fischer, et al., Bendamustine in combination with rituximab for previously untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: A multicenter phase II trial of the German Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Study Group. J. Clin. Oncol. 2012, 30, 3209-16. These results held for patients >70 years old, and compare favorably with results published for chlorambucil and rituximab. While results with this regimen appear to be improved over historical controls, outcomes are not as good as those observed in younger patients with chemoimmunotherapy. Therefore, the optimal therapy for older patients remains an unmet need in clinical trials.

Additionally, most patients eventually relapse with their disease and are frequently refractory to existing agents. Patients who relapse after combined chemoimmunotherapy have a poor outcome with subsequent standard therapies. While options for these patients include alemtuzumab, bendamustine, high dose corticosteroids, ofatumumab, and combination based approaches, none of these therapies produces durable remissions that exceed that observed with first line chemoimmunotherapy. Keating, et al., Therapeutic role of alemtuzumab (Campath-1H) in patients who have failed fludarabine: results of a large international study. Blood 2002, 99, 3554-61; Bergmann, et al., Efficacy of bendamustine in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia: results of a phase I/II study of the German CLL Study Group. Haematologica 2005, 90, 1357-64; Thornton P D, Matutes E, Bosanquet A G, et al. High dose methylprednisolone can induce remissions in CLL patients with p53 abnormalities. Ann. Hematology 2003, 82, 759-65; Coiffier, et al., Safety and efficacy of ofatumumab, a fully human monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody, in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia: A phase 1-2 study.

J. Clin. Oncol. 2008, 26, 196-203. Several of these therapies including alemtuzumab and high dose steroids are also associated with significant toxicities and sustained immunosuppression. Lozanski G, Heerema N A, Flinn 1W, et al. Alemtuzumab is an effective therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia with p53 mutations and deletions.

In an ongoing Phase 1b/2 study, the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib has shown activity in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL. In patients with relapsed or refractory CLL and measurable lymphadenopathy, the rate of lymph node shrinkage >50% is 89%. With a median follow-up of 4 months, ORR was 48% due to asymptomatic lymphocytosis, and with longer follow-up of 26 months in patients receiving the 420 mg dose, has improved to 71%, with an additional 20% of patients achieving a partial response with lymphocytosis (PR-L). Byrd, et al., Activity and tolerability of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibitor PCI-32765 in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL): Interim results of a phase Ib/II study. J. Clin. Oncol. ASCO Annual Meeting Abstracts, 2011, 29, Abstract 6508; Byrd, et al. Targeting BTK with ibrutinib in relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia. N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42. This lymphocytosis is likely related to B cell release from lymph node, spleen and marrow microenvironment due to disruption of homing signals or chemoattractants that are relevant to usual lymphocyte circulation dynamics. Lymphocytosis with ibrutinib is seen within 1-2 weeks of starting therapy, reaches plateau within the first 2-3 cycles, and has resolved over time in virtually all patients. The duration of lymphocytosis does not appear to be related to the depth of eventual response nor to response duration. Woyach, et al., Prolonged lymphocytosis during ibrutinib therapy is associated with distinct molecular characteristics and does not indicate a suboptimal response to therapy. Blood 2014, 123, 1810-7. Response to ibrutinib occurs independently of high-risk genomic features including IgV_(H) mutational status and del(17p13.1). Responses to this drug have been durable as well, with an estimated 26 month PFS of 76% and OS of 83% for these relapsed and refractory patients. This study also included a cohort of 31 previously untreated patients. With 16.6 months of follow-up, ORR is 71%, with an additional 10% of patients having persistent lymphocytosis; estimated 22 month PFS is 96%. This agent is currently in Phase 3 trials in treatment-nave disease and is currently FDA approved for the treatment of relapsed CLL. These data with ibrutinib support the potential benefits of selective BTK inhibition in CLL. However, while highly potent in inhibiting BTK, ibrutinib has also shown in vitro activity against other kinases (e.g., epidermal growth factor receptor), which may be the cause of ibrutinib-related diarrhea and rash. Honigberg, et al., The Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor PCI-32765 blocks B-cell activation and is efficacious in models of autoimmune disease and B-cell malignancy. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2010, 107, 13075-13080. In addition, it is a substrate for both cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes 3A4/5, which increases the possibility of drug-drug interactions. Finally, the inhibition of ITK that is seen with ibrutinib has the potential to abrogate NK cell ADCC, which makes combination with monoclonal antibodies less effective. Kohrt, et al., Ibrutinib antagonizes rituximab-dependent NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Blood 2014, 123, 1957-60. These liabilities support the development of alternative BTK inhibitors for use in the therapy of lymphoid cancers.

In this Phase 1B study, two cohorts (relapsed/refractory and treatment-nave) will be evaluated with slightly staggered enrollment. First, 6 subjects with R/R CLL will be enrolled into Cohort 1. Once the safety has been evaluated, the R/R cohort will be expanded to 26 subjects and enrollment of 6 treatment-nave subjects can begin in Cohort 2. Once safety is established for Cohort 2, then the cohort will be expanded to 19 subjects.

Formula (XVIII) will be administered starting cycle 1 day 1 and will be administered twice daily (100 mg BID) until disease progression. Obinutuzumab will be given in the standard dosing fashion starting on cycle 2 day 1. On cycle 2 day 1, patients will receive 100 mg IV. On cycle 2 day 2, patients will receive 900 mg. On cycle 2 days 8 and 15, patients will receive 1000 mg IV. On cycles 3-7, patients will receive 1000 mg on day 1 of each cycle. For patients treated at dose level −1, 100 mg will be given on Day 1 and 650 mg on Day 2 of Cycle 2. On cycle 2 day 8 and 15, patients will receive 750 mg IV and during cycles 3-7, patients will receive 750 mg on Day 1 of each cycle. It is acceptable for cycles to begin <a 24-hour (1 business day) window before and after the protocol-defined date for Day 1 of a new cycle.

In this study, Formula (XVIII) is administered 100 mg BID, with the second dose 11-13 hours after the first. Obinutuzumab is administered by IV infusion as an absolute (flat) dose. Obinutuzumab is administered in a single day, with the exception of the first administration when patients receive their first dose of obinutuzumab over two consecutive days (split dose) in Cycle 2: 100 mg on Day 1 and 900 mg on Day 2. For patients treated at dose level −1 (750 mg obinutuzumab), −100 mg will be given on Day 1 and 650 mg on Day 2. On days when both Formula (XVIII) and obinutuzumab are given, the order of study treatment administration will be Formula (XVIII) followed at least 1 hour later by obinutuzumab. The full dosing schedule is given in Table 13.

Anti-CD20 antibodies have a known safety profile, which include infusion related reactions (IRR). Anti-CD20 antibodies, and in particular obinutuzumab, can cause severe and life threatening infusion reactions. Sequelae of the infusion reactions include patient discontinuations from antibody treatment leading to suboptimal efficacy or increased medical resource utilization, such as hospitalization for hypotension or prolonged antibody infusion time. In the initial study of obinutuzumab in relapsed/refractory CLL patients (Cartron, et al., Blood 2014, 124, 2196), all patients (n=13) in the Phase 1 portion experienced IRRs (15% Grade 3, no Grade 4, and 100% patients experienced all grade AE), with hypotension and pyrexia the most common symptoms. In the Phase 2 portion of the study, 95% of patients developed IRR, with 60% of cases developing symptoms of hypotension; of those, 25% were Grade 3 reactions. In the pivotal trial of obinutuzumab and chlorambucil in previously untreated patients, 69% developed infusion related reactions, of which 21% were grade 3-4.

The results of the Phase 1b study described in this example for Formula (XVIII) in combination with obinutuzumab for patients with relapsed/refractory or untreated CLL/SLL/PLL are as follows. 6 patients have been treated in the study to date with the combination of Formula (XVIII) and obinutuzumab. Patients are first treated with a month run-in of Formula (XVIII) alone, then on cycle 2, day 1, patients are given obinutuzumab. To date, 41 doses of obinutuzumab have been administered to 6 patients. Lymphocyte counts immediately prior to treatment with obinutuzumab have ranged from 8 to 213×10⁹/L. No cases of serious or Grade 3-4 IRR's have been reported. Only 2 patients have had obinutuzumab temporarily held for chills and arthralgias/sluured, respectively, and were able to complete the planned infusion. An additional 3 patients had adverse events within 24 hours of the infusion, all grade 1 (terms: flushing, palpitations in one patient, rash, and restlessness and headache). Consequently, there has been a substantial decrease in serious or Grade 3-4 IRR″s with the one month lead-in of Formula (XVIII), which could potentially lead to higher efficacy for the combination as well as better tolerability, leading to a decrease in medical resource utilization.

Example 19 BTK Inhibitory Effects on MDSCs in the Solid Tumor Microenvironment

A molecular probe assay was used to calculate the percent irreversible occupancy of total BTK. MDSCs were purified from tumor bearing PDA mice (as described previously) dosed at 15 mg/kg BID of Formula (XVIII). Complete BTK occupancy is observed for both the granulocytic and monocytic MDSC compartment on Day 8 at 4 hours post dose (N=5). The results are shown in FIG. 158.

Example 20 BTK Inhibitory Effects on Solid Tumor Microenvironment in a Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Model

A genetic tumor model of NSCLC (KrasLA2) was studied as a model for lung cancer using the treatment schema shown in FIG. 159. The model is designed to have sporadic expression in single cells of G12D mutant Kras off its own promoter triggered by spontaneous intrachromosomal recombination. Johnson, et al. Nature 2001, 410, 1111-16. While the mutant Kras protein is expressed in a few cells in all tissues, tumor development is seen only in the lung at high penetrance. Mice treated with Formula (XVIII) showed a significant decrease in tumor volumes versus vehicle (FIG. 160) and fewer overall tumors with dosing of 15 mg/kg. The effects on TAMs (FIG. 161), MDSCs (FIG. 162), Tregs (FIG. 163), and CD8+ cells (FIG. 164) were consistent with suppression of the solid tumor microenviroment as demonstrated previously.
